San Diegans no longer have to wait to celebrate their favorite fandoms!
Now that the Comic-Con Museum is open, fans will no longer have to squeeze all their excitement and celebration into a four-day convention. The museum’s recent opening in the historic Federal Building in the Palisades area of Balboa Park is sure to become a new San Diego gem!
Museum-goers, expect to be spoiled with all that’s in store for you! Like 25,000 square feet dedicated to rotating exhibits, a 6,000-square-foot education center, a 4K video theater, learning labs, as well as amazing classes and seminars! Oh, and of course, prepare to visit its heavenly gift shop packed with all the comics, graphic novels, souvenirs from your favorite characters you could ever need!
Comic-Con has a long and epic history. The iconic convention has been wowing our inner nerds worldwide since 1970, bringing people together to celebrate comics and all aspects of the popular arts. In recent years Comic-Con has attracted more than 130,000 people who marvel at the opportunity to interact with fellow fans and the creatives and technical geniuses behind their favorite fandoms!
Comic-Con is the place to be for the four incredible summer days when it’s in town! There are many events and activities, including games, awards ceremonies, costume competitions, and an insane programming schedule with some of the biggest celebrities in the world! And now thanks to their museum we can enjoy and learn more about our favorite characters, shows, and films whenever we like!
Like many of our favorite comic book characters, there are two sides to Comic-Con’s vision for the space. During the day, the museum offers visitors and tourists one-of-a-kind immersive educational experiences with rotating exhibits, activities, and workshops. At night, it turns into an extraordinary pop culture community space for special events, interactive movie nights, music, classes, gaming- The perfect spot for a nerdy night out!
The museum has special opening weekend hours. Tickets start at $19.95, and memberships are available starting at $50.
All guests attending the museum are required to wear a face mask throughout their whole visit.
Needless to say, the Comic-Con Museum lives up to its name, and we are bubbling over with excitement to have a bit of Comic-Con magic year-round!
