What people say

"Check out the Walt Disney Family Museum –which is included in the Go Card San Francisco. Founded by Walt’s older daughter, Diane Disney Miller, San Francisco was chosen as the home of the Walt Disney Family Museum because her family settled nearby in wine country. The museum features 40,000 square feet of interactive and entertaining exhibits and galleries detailing the life and legacy of Walt Disney and the company he founded. Beautiful, expansive galleries feature all kinds of Disney films, photographs, sketches, clips, cartoons and more. Many of the stations are narrated by Walt’s own voice. We learned about Walt Disney’s impressive personal life, from the early beginnings and his success and grand ambitions to the building of Disneyland and how he created an empire that continues to inspire innovation and imagination, even today. The museum includes over 200 video screens and interactive exhibits, but our unanimous favorite was the intricate model of Disneyland housed in the second to last gallery. "
"The Walt Disney Family Museum, located in the Presidio of San Francisco, offers an in-depth look at the life and legacy of Walt Disney. Housed in a historic building with stunning views of the Golden Gate Bridge, the museum features interactive exhibits, original artwork, and memorabilia that chronicle Disney's journey from his early animation days to the creation of Disneyland and beyond. Through engaging displays and personal artifacts, visitors gain insight into Disney’s creative genius and the evolution of his iconic characters and entertainment empire."
"This museum is really done well and a must do for any Walt Disney fan. It chronicles his journey from Marceline to Anaheim with incredible original drawings and animatronics, creatively displaying the progression of animation. "
