Field Lab

Kids enjoy free admission to the San Diego Archaeological Center on select Saturdays. Check out family-friendly activities in the Center’s classroom, where you can create your own art with an archaeologist, become a junior archaeologist with miniature excavation units, and curl up with a book on our cozy reading rug. Families can also explore the museum on an Archaeology Quest and check out the Excavation Station and Field Lab. The museum is located in the picturesque San Pasqual Valley in Escondido, one mile east of the San Diego Zoo Safari Park. San Diego Archaeological Center
