“Not worth it”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 June 2011

We were very disappointed. Most of museum hasn't been updated in 10 years so information on players, coaches, teams, etc. is completely out of date. Not much to see unless you have a personal interest in the history of sports in San Diego.

“Very Disappointing Museum”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 February 2011

Not much to look at here other than some Padres & Chargers memorabilia. There's a bunch of plaques on the wall. We were in and out in about 10 minutes. Had I paid anything to enter, I would have asked for my money back.

“Worst museum I've ever been to”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 March 2009

Used city pass to get in and it wasn't worth it-let alone to pay $8 addmission without pass. There is barely anything there-and the stuff that is there us lame. For some reason they having to huge bass in the basement-poor guys! Don't waste your time-even if you are a sports nut.
