The Navy SEAL Museum San Diego opened to the public in October 2025 in a purpose-built gallery space near the Embarcadero. Exhibits include authentic gear, a full-size SEAL Delivery Vehicle, and a virtual reality mission experience, with former Navy SEALs and Special Warfare combat crewmen serving as docents. It is a sister institution to the original National Navy UDT-SEAL Museum in Fort Pierce, Florida.
