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.

Super interesting. Thanks for doing that! We been there with our grandson. It is our third time there. Always great!

Loved it!

kelly_i, Sep 2025

Great museum especially for any Disney fan. Great to get a look into Walts whole life and the making of Disney as a company

Super cool/ informative

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:)

Love this museum

Thomas_D, Aug 2025

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.

Great Museum!

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.

Walt Disney

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.

A great family experience with Walt Disney.

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.).

Disney’s impact on our culture explored.

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.

This is a must go if you are a Disney fan!

Jamie_L, Sep 2024

It was amazing.. Got to...

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 🤗

Way more interesting than I expected.

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.

Informative modern biography

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.

Huge Disney fan

Sarah_N, Jul 2024

The museum offered so much facts of how Disney started. Great interactive exhibits, videos and audio.

Very informative, boring for teens and kids

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.

Very entertaining and fun experience

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

A must for Disney fans

nicolarthompson, Apr 2024

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.

A Man Of Magic

James_S, Apr 2024

Seeing the genius of Walt Disney and the touching tributes to the legend at the end of the tour. Plus, it was wonderful that they had activities for the children to do at the cats and dogs exhibit!

Amazing

kylee_r, Mar 2024

We enjoyed going into each gallery room with all the memorabilia of the early creations of Disney. There were many fun interactive games to be played as well!
