Maritime Museum of San Diego, San Diego

So much fun! great views of the harbor and lots of great historical information offered. You get 7 vessels for cost of admission. No gimmicks or fancy stuff just a great day going through history. Star of India has 3 levels, a submarine you can walk through and a river boat were as far as we got. We visited end of March..lots of parking right in front early ...including disabled. Volunteers are always handy for questions. We live in San Diego and wish we'd visited sooner...sadly Anthony's Fish Grotto is closed would have been nice to eat close by. There is a small Claim Jumpers and a sandwich place across the street I was told. The cart outside the river boat used instant Country Time lemonade..my only disappointment of the day.

A place where imagination sets sail. The museum has something for all ages and interests. There is no "building," but the vessels are filled with world class art, historical pieces, and tales of their own. Pilot has daily cruises, the cheapest on the bay, Swift goes out on weekend tours, Californian and San Salvador do weekend sails. This is honestly, the coolest place in town and, best of all, it's affordable.

Great Place to visit. The price is more than fair. Would have been nice if there was guides on the larger ships at least. Other than that it was a very fun place. If I am ever in San Diego again i will defiantly be going again!

You get access to like 10 craft, including a Soviet sub, in which they've recreated a gentle version of the tense situation that sub had experienced. The ships have not only exhibits about the vessels themselves, but details about their specific uses through their seaworthiness, and journals and biographies of passengers and crew. Educational and fascinating.

For me not being very interested in boats and nautical stuff I still had a good time and liked visiting the different boats and learning about their history. We booked a sailing tour on the California which turned out to be informative and entertaining at the same time. We got to participate in the raising of the sails. Staff, although mostly volunteers , professional, friendly and dedicated. Reasonably priced!
