Maritime Museum of San Diego Admission Ticket

Overview

Unlike typical museums which house exhibits and galleries within their walls, the Maritime Museum of San Diego is a collection of several historic ships with below deck exhibits, docked along the region's beautiful waterfront. Your general admission ticket gives you complete access to tour all ships and exhibits for one low ticket price. The fleet ranges from tall ship sailing vessels to steam ferry boats to the USS Dolphin submarine. Come and discover 500 years of seafaring history as you step on board and back in time!

What a spectacular collection of ships and maritime art. I’ve seen the Cutty Sark, the HMS Victory, and the USS Constitution, in different years and places, and this museum is on that level, plus the paintings/models/excursion options in the harbor, and more.

Great museum. Visited on a whim after walking around town. Lots of information about each vessel available and wonderful views of San Diego from the decks.

Thank you for spending time with us recently! Yes, walking the decks of each ship in the fleet and exploring the below deck exhibits and galleries can be quite an educational adventure! With the amazing waterfront views and the visitor experience, the Maritime Museum of San Diego is quite the treat!

Highly recommend! Very well done and interesting. We added the optional Bay Cruise tour which was great. Well worth the entrance fee.
