About Museum Month in San Diego
Every February is Museum Month in San Diego – which means dozens of museums, cultural centers, and other activities in the city are available at 50% off when you get the pass. The Museum Month Pass can be downloaded digitally or picked up at any library around the city. And in 2026, Tijuana museums will be participating as well, offering half off admission for most of their museums. In all, this covers close to 80 museums throughout the city.
