Amazing historical journey of an animation and entertainment institution
A hidden gem in San Francisco

Public Parking must be paid with a credit card before entering the museum. Allow about 3 hours if you like to read through a museum.
Lots of family memorabilia.. some one of a kind.
Irene_T, Apr 2026
Excellent displays of Walt Disney from early life to his passing. As you would expect from anything Disney, the displays were interactive., interesting and well-paced.
Elizabeth_F, Mar 2026
Parking difficulties on weekends. Give museum tour minimum 2-3 hours to see & read everything. A great history of Walt Disney.
Laurel_L, Mar 2026
Interesting and nicely laid out exhibit about the life of Walt Disney. Interactive elements and all in a gorgeous setting at the presidio. Allow 1.5-2hours
Autumn_H, Jan 2026
Got my tickets from Viator immediately, and was easy to scan in! We got the 4:20pm time slot because it was the only one we could make work. 1 hour was not enough time! Plan for 2 hours minimum, 3 if y I u really like to read and listen to things! This museum had so much more than I thought it would.
Cecilia_P, Jan 2026
City traffic can be bad so plan for alot of time. Parking can also take some time. Very educational.

Great museum especially for any Disney fan. Great to get a look into Walts whole life and the making of Disney as a company
Tarah_K, Sep 2025
My mother, kids and I never knew this existed so once I saw it pop up for places to explore in SF I HAD to go! It's very informative with super cool originals of things Walt did/ wrote/ created. My fav part was that it's in an old Army barracks because it gives more history and they're really nice buildings in a great location. Parking was also very affordable compared to other parking lots. Everyone in my family loved it as well even my younger kids:)

It's so hot interesting to see all of this since my family sold the land to Disney many years ago. It can take quite a long time to go through all of the exhibits.
McCala_M, Jul 2025

Caitlyn_A, May 2025
I really enjoyed how interactive the museum was and the telling of Walt Disney's life story. It was interesting that there were aspects missing from who he was as a person, but otherwise it was a great museum.

Kee_K, Feb 2025

Nicole_P, Nov 2024
We are huge Disney fans and the museum did not disappoint. Wonderful displays, a lot of interactive areas and beautiful all around.
ELIZABETH_D, Oct 2024
Learned more about Walt, did not know he was an artist . Loved seeing the family pictures. Would like to know what is going on with his daughters now.
Brian_L, Oct 2024
The entire experience just flowed from the beginning of Walt Disney's life til the end. Plan on at least three hours if you interact and read all of the exhibits. My family were captivated during the self guided tour. Great family experience, including the awesome surrounding areas (parks, restaurants, etc.).
Roland_S, Oct 2024
An amazing collection of Walt’s work and an in depth look into his life, dreams, & art. The kids enjoyed a walk through the Disney past.

Roshini_B, Aug 2024
It was amazing.. Got to know more about how the background work happens.. About the life back then. Contributions from several ppl for cartoon world.. It was dream come true for us… And good memory for the kids 🤗
Sarah_P, Jul 2024
Way more to this than I had expected, very interesting. Definitely worth visiting even if you are not a Disney devotee. Beautifully presented.
Rachael_P, Jul 2024
So much reading to do but well worth it. An audio version for eg kuds, dyslexics would be a great idea. Each gallery was different and interesting and Walt's life story was well told. Felt like I knew him by the end and cried at the tributes and thinking hiw much he has left as his legacy. He always seemed so positive even in the face of adversity which I admire greatly.
Sarah_N, Jul 2024
The museum offered so much facts of how Disney started. Great interactive exhibits, videos and audio.
Chris_H, Jul 2024
Well done museum. Really informative but mostly about the animation and very little about the theme parks. Perfect for Disney lovers but my pre-teen/teens were bored.
David_G, Jun 2024
Was very educational and fun to enjoy with my granddaughter and wife. Would definitely go again when there is new program to view

Museum is in a beautiful area of San Francisco - take the opportunity to walk to the end of the road to get a stunning view of the Golden Gate Bridge.
Museum is a must for those looking for a walkthrough history of Walt Disney.
