Went there for Day of the Dead. A little crowded, but ok. Loved all the altars ❤️
Amazing way for the young generation to connect with the past. Surprised to find that we’re allowed to touch some of the items! Well preserved items and memorabilia.
Hidden gem in redwood city. Loved the many interactive exhibits about San Mateo county history including many horse carriages, old telephones, model ships, and a courtroom just to name a few! Very reasonable ticket prices too. There were few people inside on Saturday morning so we got to take our time exploring the spaces.
I love this museum. It's small, cosy, well organized, friendly, with very educational and interesting expositions about local history. Great place to spend 1-2 hours with family and for school tours.
I was genuinely surprised how engaging the exhibits are. Some of them could use some TLC (like the surfing exhibit), but we easily spent two hours here and learned a lot about the Bay Area peninsula. Definitely recommend paying a visit if you live in the Bay or want to kill time while downtown.
Surprisingly full of amazing, interesting things. Stagecoaches, model ships, World War II posters. Content is well balanced to have things to interest both adults and children. They also do a good job of showing both content of national interest and showing how it connects to San Mateo county in particular.
We were expecting a small, one hour collection but this place has loads to see. Highly recommended.
