At that time, the Museum became Children's Museum/Museo de los Ninos San Diego. After nearly ten years in the warehouse space, the doors were closed in 2002 to break ground for a new building at the same site. Thanks to generous philanthropic...

There are also lots of arts-based classes, and good old-fashioned play...

My kids had a great time and we will for sure make this a...

I feel that you can check the whole thing out in less than a day. Only worth the membership if u live downtown and plan to go very frequently. Kids got a little bored. The Zoo and lots of parks within easy range. Fun for an afternoon.
