Museum Hop with your Membership during The BIG Exchange
These cooler May Gray days are perfect for museums in 35 different ways! The BIG Exchange starts TODAY! That means you can exchange your museum membership for reciprocal admission at one of 35 participating museums. May 1st-18th. Details from San Diego Museum Council. If you’re not already a member at one of the museums, I noted the cost below for family memberships ($) to our favorite places for kids 💙 Our top pick is the Model Railroad Museum at Balboa Park because it’s the cheapest and my kids LOVE the train play room (above) .
