About this place

A museum in Escondido focused on the archaeological history of San Diego County over the past 12,000 years. Families can visit exhibits about how people have lived in the region, and the center runs hands-on programs including craft workshops where children make items from natural materials under guidance from Indigenous artists. The venue also hosts community events such as markets featuring handmade artwork and crafts by Native artists, and runs week-long archaeology camps during school breaks for young people interested in learning excavation and discovery methods.

If you are a member here

A membership to San Diego Archaeological Center carries reciprocal admission, so the same card is worth free or discounted entry at other places in this program.

Reciprocal programs are built for travel and most exclude places close to the one where you hold your membership, so this is worth the most when you are away from home. How reciprocal memberships work
