Everything You Need to Know About Visiting the Walt Disney Family Museum

One of our last stops on our San Francisco trip was the Walt Disney Family Museum! It is full of so much history and special artifacts from Walt Disney’s life, and it is the perfect museum for any Disney fan! What made it even more special was that we got to spend the afternoon with my dear friend Lucy who I finally got to meet in real life for the first time! In this post, I’ll be sharing everything you need to know about visiting the Walt Disney Family Museum.

The Walt Disney Family Museum is located at 104 Montgomery St, San Francisco, CA 94129. Find animation, innovation, and inspiration in the remarkable life story of Walt Disney! The museum features contemporary, interactive galleries with state-of-the-art exhibits narrated in Walt’s own voice alongside early drawings, cartoons, films, music, a spectacular model of Disneyland, and more.

Don’t miss the special “Disney Cats & Dogs” exhibition which explores the evolution and innovation of Walt Disney Animation Studios’ animal-inspired animation and storytelling through the decades, and the massive undertaking involved in bringing their iconic cats and dogs to life on screen!
