    Visited in March 2026, entry was free to all for that month. It’s near to Basilica (just across the street). This museum is really good place to visit. Highly recommended. It’s open Thursday—Sunday 11am to 5pm.

    We enjoyed our time here, Dracula doll exhibit was impressive and so entertaining, I had fun reading story and walking through with my family. Kids enjoyed outdoor space and all the hands on activities. Enjoyed learning some of Ventura’s history through photography. Kids free, military 50% discount. Would recommend and will come back in the future :)
