💡Don't miss the free Expert Class where you can learn directly from martial artists—this interactive experience is a standout feature that sets this museum apart from typical exhibits and provides hands-on engagement with the martial arts community.
🕐Plan your visit around special events like Dragonfest Expo (the museum's 20th anniversary celebration with 100 booths and performances) for a richer experience, but note the museum is closed Sundays and specifically closed on March 22, 2026 for the event.

💡For school and group visits, book field trips in advance by calling (818) 245-6051 or emailing [email protected] to ensure you have the best experience and potentially negotiate group rates.
💡This museum is extremely family-friendly with exhibits spanning from ninja and anime displays to Cobra Kai props that appeal to all ages—kids particularly enjoy the cultural learning opportunities and interactive elements, making it a great educational outing for families.
