Overview	Tickets	Location & Map	Packages
Location: San Diego, CA Hours: Open daily 10:00am - 5:00pm Closed Thanksgiving & Christmas The San Diego Natural History located in beautiful Balboa Park is all about nature—past and present. The Museum’s award-winning exhibit design team creates exhibitions that focus on the unique and biodiverse southern California region. The San Diego Natural History Museum’s newest gallery, All That Glitters: The Splendor and Science of Gems and Minerals, amazes adults and children alike with stunning jewelry and glittery gemstones—some found right here in San Diego! The exhibit is both awe-inspiring and educational. Learn how crystals develop to form various shapes and sizes, where these minerals can be found, and why they are of such high value today. Fossil Mysteries, a highly interactive exhibition, explores big themes in science: evolution, extinction, ecology, and Earth processes. Abundant fossils, models, murals, and dioramas offer unique multi-sensory experiences. You'll see the world—past and present—in a whole new way. Get immersed in a cinematic experience like no other as stunning films come to life on the giant screen equipped with Dolby® 3D. The award-winning Ocean Oasis provides Museum visitors an introductory overview of our region and the forces which shape it. The film, which the Museum co-produced, takes viewers on a fascinating journey into two remarkably different, but inextricably linked worlds—Mexico’s Sea of Cort?s and the Baja California desert. 3D films are shown alternately with Ocean Oasis.
