About the Museum of Natural History
The Museum of Natural History in Morro Bay, California, located at 20 State Park Road, is a must-visit tourist attraction within Morro Bay State Park. Situated on a hill overlooking the bay, the museum offers stunning panoramic views of the estuary, sandspit, Morro Rock, and the Pacific Ocean. As the only Natural History Museum in the California State Park system, visitors of all ages can enjoy hands-on interpretive exhibits that showcase the rich natural history of the area.
Open daily from 10am-5pm, the museum is staffed with friendly and knowledgeable individuals who are available to answer questions and provide park literature, including maps and brochures. The museum also offers TK-12 School Programs led by State Park Interpreters that align with current school standards and are free of charge for students, teachers, and chaperones. Reservations are required for school groups and can be made by emailing slo.fieldtrips@parks.ca.gov.
For schools serving predominantly low-income students, transportation grants are available to provide free transportation to the museum, thanks to a generous grant from PG&E. Additionally, the museum offers Adventures with Nature Interpretive Programs, Junior Ranger Programs, and Campfire Programs that are fun and educational for visitors of all ages.
Admission to the museum is $3 for adults and free for ages 17 and under. The on-site gift shop, run by the Central Coast State Parks Association, supports education and interpretation programs, with profits going towards these initiatives. An online shop is also available for those who wish to support the museum from afar. Don't miss out on the opportunity to explore the natural wonders of Morro Bay at the Museum of Natural History.

Reviews of Museum of Natural History
"The museum was really fun. The workers were nice and the museum was very interesting!"
"Our Boy Scout Troop went to the museum over Veterans Day weekend. We had the pleasure of earning Junior Ranger badges with Ranger Ray. He taught our group how to read weather patterns, showed us some amazing views and how to safely have an outdoor event by finding suitable shelter from the elements. The kids applied this knowledge to all of our activities throughout the weekend and overall had a wonderful experience! Thank you Ranger Ray! You made an impact on our kids and the adults and we learned so much from you!"
"This museum is more a display of information than physical exhibits but still worth a short visit. The views of the bay/estuary alone make a visit here worthwhile. Be sure to hike up the rocky peak immediately adjacent to the museum. Be on the lookout for blue heron in the area. We enjoyed the virtual reality experience—three different short films seen through a VR headset."
"My 7 year old loves this place. We are visiting and we have visited multiple times. Very hands on learning and great informative information. Beautifully views of mirror rock and the bay. 3.00 for adults entrance fee."
"Much larger than it looks from the outside! $3 entry. Lots of interactive exhibits great for adults and kids. Realistic replicas of local wildlife. Plus there's lots to do to keep the kids entertained. Enter through a small gift shop with typical CA State Park souvenirs."
