Enjoy a uniquely-San Diego experience at one of our city’s most iconic historic landmarks. Make the climb on a guided tour that highlights the origins of Balboa Park and the histories of some of the many diverse communities that call the region home. All tours culminate in breathtaking 360-degree views of San Diego from the Tower’s eighth-floor viewing deck–from the Pacific Ocean in the west to the Cuyamaca Mountains in the east, and beyond.
California Tower Tours are offered Wednesday through Sunday at the Museum of Us. Tours are 40 minutes long and accommodate up to six (6) people. Tickets can be purchased online or at the Museum admissions desk. Capacity is limited and tours sell out fast, so we recommend booking your tour online ahead of time to plan your visit.

Immersive experiences explore the human experience through multicultural perspectives to spark dialogue, self-reflection, and human connections. Exhibits such as Living with Animals and PostSecret examine universal themes that connect humans across time and cultures.
