Military Intelligence Service Historic Learning Center

The story of how the films got made, in a Presidio barracks: early drawings, the multiplane camera, and a model of Disneyland as first imagined. Long for under-fives.

Presidio lodge with family suites, lawns outside the door, and continental breakfast.

This listing is outdated. The collection moved to a new home, where the research library is now open by appointment.

Calm Presidio restaurant with outdoor seating, best with preschool and school-age kids who can sit a while.

A park good for picnicking, with old military batteries and camping spots to explore.

Free one-room visitor centre by the beach with tide-pool tanks and whale bones. Ten minutes, and a good excuse to be indoors for a moment.
