San Diego may be best known for the surf and the ships, but there's more to do in the SoCal city than you might have realized.
From a flourishing craft brewery scene, a burgeoning culinary culture, homegrown arts, and a world-famous zoo, there's something for every kind of traveler. One thing to make sure to remember: San Diego's dozens of museums.
Next month is the ideal time for a trip to the city. Every February for the past three decades, San Diego has hosted a citywide museum month. More than 40 locations are taking part in this year's Museum Month, offering half-off admission to anyone who has a free museum month passbook.
The passbook is available to locals and visitors, and can be picked up from more than 80 locations around the city. For locals, the best bet is the closest public library. Visitors can stop by a library branch too, but this year, Hilton Hotels is partnering with the San Diego Museum Council to offer the pass to guests.
To get the pass, either book Hilton's Museum Month package at any of the company's 29 hotels in the city, or ask at the front desk during your stay.
There's a wide variety of museums, ranging from family-friendly to more fun for grown-ups. Take a look below at some of the participating museums, and for tips on how to get the most value from your Hilton stay. Also, be sure to check out the San Diego Museum Council or Hilton's Museum Month page for full details.
