Skateboarding Hall of Fame Skateboard Museum — Attraction in Simi Valley

This is an amazing place, even for someone as unfamiliar with skateboarding as I am. (I brought my 9 year old son, who starting learning to skateboard 1-2 years ago.) You can visit the museum for free, but it's absolutely a treasure trove!

There are literally hundreds of boards, from all around the world and from different eras in the sport's history. There's also a nice if somewhat small indoor skate park that you can use for a very reasonable price. You can also take a skateboarding lesson (two days a week).

Todd, the founder and owner of this museum, is absolutely incredible. He has an infectious passion for the history of skateboarding and I bet he could tell you a story about every piece in the museum.

If youre interested, Todd describes the evolution of board design, and shares personal stories of the skateboarding legends (many who came and skated at his previous location, Skate Lab.)

Not surprisingly, news of this amazing museum and skate park has gotten out to those who love the sport, and he has people come visit his museum from all around the world. (The person who signed the guest book before us was from Moscow, Russia.)

He hopes he can get a new location for his museum before the 2028 Olympics in LA, and I really hope he does. His extensive knowledge, century-spanning collection, and passion for the sport really make this an incredible place to visit. This massively exceeded my expectations! Thank you...

Skateboarding history lives here! My husband, his best friend (visiting from Ohio), and I visited the Skateboarding Hall of Fame Museum and it was an unforgettable experience. Located in an unassuming mall parking lot across from the Vans store, this hidden gem is a must visit for anyone with even a passing interest in skate culture.

The museum itself is free to enter (no reservation needed), though donations are welcome to help keep this incredible place running. Inside, you'll find a mind blowing collection of skateboards ranging from vintage classics to modern designs, spanning over a century of history. It is a visual timeline of skate culture that highlights its evolution and global reach.

Todd, the owner, is an absolute joy to talk to. He is incredibly kind, generous with his time, and clearly passionate about preserving the history of skateboarding. He answered all my questions and shared fascinating insights about the pieces on display.

In addition to the museum, there is a shop with both new and vintage boards, gear, and clothing, and there is even a small indoor skate park available for a modest fee. Parking is free and easily accessible.

Whether you are a lifelong skater or just curious about the culture, this museum offers a warm welcome and a deep dive into the heart of the sport. Thank you, Todd. We will...

I am 52 years old and have been skating since I was 8. On our way back home from LA I went out of my way to get to this location. I didn't want to go, I had to go once I found out what it was. I have never been in such awe and so stoked walking into any skate-oriented location. This is a true museum of skating history. My son and I spent some time there with the coolest guy (Todd) who was also the owner of this treasure. We as a skating community must support and keep Todd doing what he is doing. I truly believe it is a must to keep this museum alive. It is truly a hidden gem of skate history. Todd is an amazing person and is so knowledgeable. It was a true honor and pleasure being able to visit. As weird as it sounds I got emotional when Todd was sharing information about his collection. That never happened to me but I felt his passion and it was amazing to have someone else share such a love for skating and bikes. I will be going back again to soak in more of this place. So much to see and so much history in one place. Thank you Todd for building this masterpiece and keeping this history alive for future generations. You are a legend and...
