San Diego has many cool things for kids and family to do and see. Many museums, zoo, sea world and other attractions to keep you entertained.  Sea World and San Diego Zoo tickets can be pricy, so doing other things for free or cheap is best way for many of us to stretch our dollars further. Here are some of the San Diego’s Free Museum Days, some are only for residents and other can be for visitors as well.

As always, double check with Museum website or call to make sure, as things can change from their side.
