February is 2023 San Diego Museum Month

 

San Diego Museum Month starts today, with terrific museum benefits you might want to take advantage of throughout February.

 

San Diego Museum Month is a wonderful opportunity! You can obtain discounts at over 60 museums, historic sites, and venues throughout San Diego until the 28th.

 

It’s easy - just pick up your discount pass at one of the 75 San Diego Libraries (county libraries, public libraries, and community libraries). You’ll receive 50% off the cost of regular admission for up to 4 people. You may find some other special offers, too.

 

Keep in mind that certain special programs and exhibits may have other admission fees. Furthermore, some exhibits might not qualify for a discount. It’s wise to check with the venue first to see if there are limitations.

 

Are you a Carlsbad resident? Grab your discount passes at one of the 3 City of Carlsbad library locations:

 

Dove Library (La Costa area) at 1775 Dove Lane off El Camino Real

Library Learning Center at 3368 Eureka Place

Georgina Cole Library east of the Village at 1250 Carlsbad Village Drive

 

You have until February 28 to use them. Discount passes may be used more than once, although the number of visits to a particular museum may be restricted.

 

There is no cost for these discount passes and the rewards are pretty substantial.

 

Participating museums and historic sites are all members of the San Diego Museum Council. What a terrific opportunity in February 2023 to enjoy your favorites, plus explore museums you haven’t visited.

 

In Carlsbad you can enjoy the Museum of Making Music (this is definitely worth a visit - see slideshow below) and the Miniature Engineering Craftsmanship Museum.

 

 

Nearby, visit the California Surf Museum and Mission San Luis Rey in Oceanside, and the San Diego Botanic Garden in Encinitas.

sounds like a great opportunity to get a little bit of culture in - and a museum for pretty much everyone's interests!

Hi Jeff... sounds like San Diego has a museum for just about every interest out there. Hopefully lots of people will take advantage of the reduced rates during Museum Month.

Thanks Nina Hollander, Broker It keeps [growing each year so presumably that speaks to the popularity.

Yes, the list of museums, historic sites and similar venues is pretty impressive. I've only  been to a handful. Perhaps some more this month!

wow, Jeff Dowler, CRS what a fun museum to visit. I will never forget the size of the waves in California. I looked at this huge wave coming toward me and froze. Luckily a friend saw me and pulled me under. You know , we do not get waves like that on the east coast

The surf IS different from the East Coast, at least from what I recall from living there Hannah Williams

Hi Jeff what an awesome idea!  I love this and wish we had something like that in the Phoenix area.  We do visit the PHX Art Museum quite often as we've been members for years.  Our plan is to map out other places we'd like to go to and make it happen.  And a discount would be good for all too!

I think it's an awesome way to encourage people to frequent the local museums Anna Banana Kruchten Phoenix Broker 

Perhaps more communities will take the hint.

I haven't visited the Phoenix Art Museum on any of our trips but perhaps it needs to get added to the list of "must do."

Jeff we have museums here in CT but nothing like this.

Feb 01, 2023 04:08 PM
Jeff Dowler, CRS

It's a pretty cool program George Souto 

Maybe other communities will copy the idea!

Offering a discounted pass that allows for the family to be entertained at all of the museums sounds like a deal too good to pass. Hopefully people there will see it that way as well.

I don't know the statistics Ed Silva but my guess is attendance goes way up at many museums during this special offering!

So many wonderful museums in the San Diego area, and I wonder if people might spend their Valentine's day at one of them.

No doubt there will be some takers on a Valentine's Day museum visit.

Hi Jeff,

I remember taking our kids on many trips to San Diego to see the museums and the Zoo.  There is so much to offer in your neck-o-the-woods!

No doubt there are some fond memories of your life in San Diego.

I hope to get out to visit a few other venues this month if we can.

Hi Jeff Dowler, CRS, when I lived in NYC, Saturdays were my museum days, sadly, we don't have much in Central FL.

That's a wonderful way to spend a Saturday Beth Atalay . I'm sorry there aren't many museums in your area!
