Free museum entry in Balboa Park today
Enjoy free admission to several museums each Tuesday. For this week (the third in the month) enjoy the Art Institute, Museum of Man, Mingei and/or theMuseum of Art; Thanks to ball bearings, the Timken Museum of Art is your gift — admission is always free to everyone.
The free day was created as a “thank you” to local residents for supporting Balboa Park museums through tax dollars. On a rotating schedule severalmuseums have no admission to San Diego County residents every Tuesday. On the 1st Tuesdays enjoy the Model Railroad and SD Natural History museums, Rueben H. Fleet Science Center and Centro Cultural de la Raza. 2nd Tuesdays: SD History & Photographic Arts museums; and on the 4th Tuesdays: Aerospace and the Auto museums, Hall of Champions and International Cottages. The Botanical Building at the north end of the lily pond is wonderful and free, too. But anytime is perfect for a relaxing walk around our big back yard.
