Oceanside, CA
Adults $15, seniors $10; free for youth 17 and under, college students and active military and their dependents
By Simir Shah
Kids 17 and under always get in free, and so do active-duty military families with ID, which makes OMA an easy Camp Pendleton family outing. Admission is free for everyone on the first Friday (5–8 pm) and all day on the first Sunday. City water and sewer work on Pier View Way runs through Jan 8, 2027, so allow extra time to park.
