The San Diego Museum Council Presents:
Kids Free in October is an opportunity for thousands of families to enjoy museum experiences each year—nearly 20,000 kids participated in the program in 2016.
From learning about dinosaurs and military heroes to astronauts and artists, kids get to explore cultural destinations and attractions across the county. Families may be surprised to learn how many museums are located across the San Diego region—from the California Surf Museum in Oceanside down to the Living Coast Discovery Center in Chula Vista.
This program can bring savings of up to $30 for a family of four. Free admission is available for up to two kids for every adult ticket purchase. To participate, download the Kids Free in October voucher at sandiegomuseumcouncil.org. Simply present the voucher at the participating museum’s admissions desk. A full directory of participating venues can be found on the San Diego Museum Council’s website.
Kids Free in October is presented in partnership with the San Diego Tourism Authority’s Kids Free campaign. During the entire month of October, families can enjoy special deals at nearly 150 area hotels, restaurants, attractions, museums and transportation companies.
Share #KidsFreeSD on Social Media. Museum-goers are encouraged to share their experiences on social media. Find the SDMC at @gomuseums on Instagram and Twitter and on Facebook at @SanDiegoMuseumCouncil.

NEW EVENT LOCATION, TO BE ANNOUNCED.
We are proud to collaborate with Karen Kao, author of The Dancing Girl and the Turtle, as she discusses her recent novel. The Dancing Girl and the Turtle is a haunting story that explores Shanghai in the 1930s, in a city that thrives with an ingrained courtesan culture. Song Anyi survives through this tumultuous time of war and destruction against all odds. Meet with the author Karen Kao and discuss the historical relevance of this novel regarding Sino-Japanese relations.
This event is in partnership with Association for Preserving Historical Accuracy of Foreign Invasions in China (APHAFIC)
