  They gave us the history and they showed us a few films that explained the whole history.

  Un lugar interesante con personas muy agradables, conocer la historia de estas personas es muy bonito, nos ayuda a cultivarnos; si tienen la oportunidad de ir a este lugar a visitarlo no duden en tomar el tour que dura como de 30 ha 40 minutos, después nos regalan una pequeña piedrecita y el conocimiento nadie te lo quita.

  Really enjoyed it. The tour takes about 35-40 minutes. At the beginning, it admittedly felt a little as though we were being recruited (if you will), but that feeling went away quickly. Young folks on their "missions" are your tour guides and ours did a wonderful job of telling the story.

  The Mormon Battalion Historic Site is a great, completely free experience in Old Town San Diego. There’s even free parking in the back, which is a nice bonus. The tour is kid-friendly, engaging, and led by missionaries who do a wonderful job sharing the history in a fun and interactive way. The experience ends with the kids getting to pan for “gold,” which was definitely a highlight! The missionaries are there simply to guide the tour—it didn’t feel preachy at all, and I never felt any pressure to learn more about their church. Overall, it’s a fun, educational stop that’s perfect for families and anyone interested in a bit of California history. Highly recommend!
