The Martial Arts History Museum, located in Glendale, California, has announced it will offer free admission to all fathers on Father's Day, June 21, 2026. This initiative aims to provide an educational and entertaining outing for families, highlighting the cultural and historical significance of martial arts.
The museum, designed by a Disney artist and spanning 8,000 square feet, is the only facility of its kind in the world. It offers an immersive journey through Asian cultural history, the birth of MMA, and the artistic evolution of martial arts. Visitors can explore an extensive collection of martial arts movie props, ninja exhibits, Japanese samurai artifacts, a history of anime, and even an authentic workout item used by Bruce Lee.
Located at 201 N. Brand Blvd., B100, Glendale, CA 91203, the museum has become a cultural landmark in the Los Angeles area, attracting high-profile visitors like Keanu Reeves, Danny Trejo, Marisa Tomei, Steve Oedekerk, and Duff McKagan. Unlike other Los Angeles museums that often involve heavy traffic and expensive parking, the Martial Arts History Museum offers a stress-free alternative. Convenient parking is available at 222 N. Orange, with the first 90 minutes free in the tower.
The Father's Day event runs from 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Admission is free for fathers, $12 for adults, and $5 for children. For more information, visit MAmuseum.com.
The museum is dedicated to preserving the history, art, and legacy of martial arts through unique exhibits and historical artifacts from China, Japan, Korea, the Philippines, and beyond. This Father's Day offer provides an opportunity for families to appreciate the profound positive influence martial arts has had on global culture and film.
