Plan Your Visit

CSM welcomes groups to the museum! Whether you are an elementary school, YMCA, surf club, high school, historical society, military cadre, college, holiday travel tour or private group, we can tailor a custom tour experience to meet your interests, time frame and knowledge level.

We are available for school field trips and have educational exhibits about weather, ocean science and designs explaining hydrodynamics.

Group visitors are requested to please call if your group would like a guided tour. Regular admission fees apply and for maximum enjoyment and ease, appointments are highly recommended. Please call (760) 721-6876.
