Free Admission at the Museum: SoCal Museums Free-For-All
At the Museum
Enjoy the Museum's indoor and outdoor exhibits for free during the annual SoCal Museums Free-For-All! Connect with nature and science here as we celebrate the region's vibrant cultural landscape.
Reservations for Free-For-All are full. Walk-ups can try, but all guests should expect a busy day at the Museum with limited parking and a line to enter. Please note that our sister campus, the Sea Center on Stearns Wharf, is not part of the Free-for-All, and conditions there (as well as admissions fees) are expected to be normal.
Plan to make the most of your visit to the Museum with our guest FAQs and accessibility page. Check the SoCal Museums website for more details on participating museums and cultural institutions.
