Free admission today at the Model Railroad and SD Natural History museums, Rueben H. Fleet Science Center and Centro Cultural de la Raza. The free day was created as a “thank you” to local residents for supporting Balboa Park museums through tax dollars. On a rotating schedule several museums have no admission to San Diego County residents every Tuesday. On the 2nd Tuesdays: SD History & Photographic Arts museums; 3rd Tuesdays: Art Institute, Museum of Man, Mingei & the Museum of Art; 4th Tuesdays: Aerospace and the Auto museums, Hall of Champions and International Cottages.
Thanks to ball bearings, the Timken Museum of Art is your gift — admission’s always free. The Botanical Building at the north end of thelily pond is wonderful and free, too. This coming Friday a display of Easter Lilies will go on display in the Botanical Building. Don’t miss it. Perhaps it’s time for a relaxing walk around our big back yard?
