The Post Secret exhibit was moving and so necessary. My teens and I felt it was one of the most important exhibit for humans to see today. Bringing a sense of humanity and especially knowledge about the local impacts of how humans impact one another made this museum a must see.

What a fun and knowledgeable time, for our whole family. There is so much history. Every exhibit was interesting. My favorite area was the secret letters. The bell tower was not open on our visit. -Regina

I wish I had had time to go up in the tower. I loved the exhibits and I definitely need to come back. Time flies when you’re having fun lol

I went here this past Tuesday which was resident free entry into the museum. It is a month of July so it was packed with kids and their parents or going with some type of camp. Although I still had a great experience visiting the museum! There's a lot to see and I really like how they exhibits were structured. And made it feel a lot less busy than it actually was. There's a lot of amazing history, best reference through my photos, highly recommend it if you are visiting Balboa Park to stop by.
