lake compounce: I have heard that one day of the month, all the museums in Balboa Park are free, but everyone I ask has a different answer as to what the day is. Does anyone know the correct day, definitively?|||No wonder you're confused -- the park offers Free Tuesdays, but they're on a rotating basis, so on the first Tuesday of the month, the Model Railroad Museum, for example, is free, on the second, the Museum of San Diego History is free, and on the third, the San Diego Museum of Art is free (and so on.) There are usually between three and five museums open for free on any given Tuesday. The good news about this set-up, of course, is that if you're there on a Tuesday, SOMETHING is bound to be free -- although you might want to plan according to which museum you'd rather see. I've given you a link below which shows you which museums are free on which Tuesdays within the month. Hope that helps - -have a great trip!|||If you have a Bank of America debit card (i think credit card too), show it at the entrance and you can visit any museum in Balboa Park until the end of May 2007 for free. We just came back and did not have to pay the entry fee ... See article below:|||I live a block away from balboa and go walking to it every day pretty much.

It rotates so its always something different!

Others pay the regualr price. All the museums are free during "December NIghts" a few weeks before Xmas for 2 days. The Timken museum (ancient paintings) is free every day. The zoo is free for County kids in October, but adults pay full price always. If you aren't coming on a Tuesday, get a discount one-day pass at the park information center that gets you a rate for all the locations. If there is a special show, most often at the Natural History Museum (such as the Dead Sea Scrolls show) or SD Museum of Art, you may only get in to the regular collection areas for free.
