The San Diego Museum Council’s beloved San Diego Museum Month returns Thursday, Feb. 1-Thursday, Feb. 29 — an annual celebration of SD’s arts and culture that offers 50% off admission at 70+ participating attractions.

You know we love our local museums and exhibitions, so let’s explore what’s new for Museum Month in 2024.

Per the Museum Council, these participants are new this year:

WNDR Museum San Diego | The immersive, multi-sensory museum in downtown SD.
Deer Park Winery & Auto Museum | The Escondido attraction that boasts the largest convertible car collection in the world, plus an entire room dedicated to Barbie.
California Wolf Center | The wolf reserve in Julian where visitors can meet wild wolf ambassadors and learn about conservation.
LEGOLAND California Resort and Sea Life Aquarium | Use Museum Month to build family memories at these Carlsbad hotspots.

Museum Month is also an officially endorsed project of World Design Capital San Diego Tijuana 2024 — making it the first time the program has expanded into Tijuana and Baja California.

We also recommend visiting:

The San Diego Natural History Museum | The Nat is celebrating its 150th anniversary in 2024, so get a lay of the land before the local celebrations begin later this year.
The Museum of Us | Come for the exhibitions — and then treat yourself to a tour of the California Tower.
Chicano Park Museum and Cultural Center | The center rooted in the history of Chicano Park debuted in 2022; you’ll want to explore the murals, too.
Cabrillo National Monument | Come for the landmarks, stay for the beautiful hiking.

Did you know? More than 110,000 people enjoyed the Museum Month deal last year. You can now grab your Museum Month pass at 80+ San Diego County libraries, or download a digital pass via the Museum Council’s site starting Thursday, Feb. 1.
