This museum is awesome if you like all things nautical. They have exhibits on the history of the Navy, fishing industry, canning industry, and more. It also has some cool views of the harbor. They run on donations and they recommend a $5 donation for entry which I happily paid. It is also located in close proximity to the USS Iowa museum. Great value for the price and highly recommend it
Splendid museum encompassing a wealth of knowledge surrounding marine life, history of the port, and pure craftsmanship and mastery of ships/boats. Admissions is FREE but donations are appreciated. While there, we met and spoke with Scotty, the volunteer pictured in the marine radio command center photo. She provided us an in-depth explanation and demonstration of live marine radio traffic which was astounding! Overall, the museum and surrounding port areas were neatly kept, filled with things to see, and activities to partake in. Worth the trip!
It’s a small museum but still offers interesting history of the LA port. Parking is free and there’s a $5 donation you can give when entering. You can donate cash or use your card to donate in the gift shop. Museum is self tour. There are lots of boat models to see.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNoPrice for adult entry$1–5
I can't believe a museum of this caliber is just a suggested donation. I was blown away by the exhibit on the Terminal Islanders. It was so well done and imactful for such a small space. The sections on canning, the history of the building, and the kids area were also impressive. I would definitely go back as it seems they are continuing to make updates to exhibits
Have lived in LA most of my life and this was the first time visiting. What a great place to explore. They have lots of cool models of ships and a whole section just for kids to play and explore. The location on the LA Waterfront with views of the USA Iowa and the port complex really help tie the exhibits to our current reality. Definitely an awesome place to take kids and a great place for adults to check out too.
Small museum with lots of things. You need to be fully vaccinated to go in. You can park off the street. It’s take a couple hours to go through everything. Museum is free but you can donate to there. All the models that they have make lots of joy for kids.

the area is under construction and the iconic seafood restaurant “Fish market” was demolished 50% when i was there a couple of days ago. the museum is absolutely a must see because of the historical records and interesting artefacts, both for the social coastlines and for the ports.
Renovations of surrounding area just finished. Really a terrific area with lots to see and do. There is the American Merchant Marine Veterans Memorial next to the Maritime Museum, which is adjacent to a number of docks with ships and boats of every description.
This is a smaller museum filled with ship models from different eras and industries. It also has historical images of the early days of the area, tools used by fishermen and sailors, and more. They have a dedicated section for naval ships, including large detailed models of modern and WW2 era ships. It was under renovation when we visited so not all are displayed properly. You can find parts of USS Los Angeles CA-135 inside & outside the museum. There's a small dock outside with public access where you can relax and maybe find some adorable seals sleeping nearby. The $5 entrance fee is worth it for visitors of all ages.
