Getting There 🚃🚗
Navy SEAL Museum San Diego is located at 1001 Kettner Blvd. in Downtown San Diego, directly across from Santa Fe Depot.
Public Transit: We highly encourage transit! The museum is adjacent to the America Plaza Trolley Station, served by the Blue, Green, and Orange Lines, and just across from Santa Fe Depot, which is also served by the COASTER.
Parking: Metered street parking and several paid public garages/lots are available nearby. The museum recommends allowing an extra 10–15 minutes to park and walk to the entrance.
Tip: With both the trolley and COASTER steps away, transit is one of the easiest options for getting to the event.
