- El DoostySeptember 12, 2015Make a reservation for the CA Tower to get some neat SD history. The view isn't bad either!
- Michael McMahonJuly 2, 2013Really good museum. Just note your not allowed take pics and do not bring children under 12 we saw a woman with a 6 year girl that was getting upset but I would really recommend this for adults
- Arthur MitchellAugust 9, 2012Located in the heart of Balboa Park, this museum features many fine exhibits on the Native Americans of Southern California.
- Jill H-WJune 7, 2013If you've been to the Smithsonians in DC or the Museum of Civilization in Ottawa, then this will be a disappointment. However the Mayan hieroglyphs make it worth it.
- Jessica StevensFebruary 3, 2016Pretty kid friendly but lots of neat stuff for adults to see and be entertained also. Pretty cheap too.
- Patricia Leite HuamaniApril 25, 2013Don't miss the Instruments of Torture Exhibit. Creepy, but very good and interesting.
- Cherie De SuesJuly 20, 2010Free on Tuesdays and the museum has great dinosaur exhibits, bones and videos. Outside the sunflowers are blooming, and the botanical gardens are close by!
- Kristine POctober 30, 2016Interesting museum although the current cannibals exhibit was a little disappointing
- Lori Ruiz AlbaughSeptember 8, 2018After seeing reviews I was excited to go, it’s not what I was expecting at all. If you’ve ever been to a museum, you’ve already seen this one. Finished this in about an hour. Don’t waste your money
