We spent an entire day at the California Science Center and still feel like we could have spent an additional hour or two there. We have 3 children, ages 13, 10 and 7 and regularly visit different museums in different cities. Our children especially love going too science museums and can spend hours at a time in one. Several months... More

They have a lot of kid friendly activities. There are playrooms for toddlers in two sections of the center, and the best part is this place is free! I've also taken class field trips with third graders and they loved the hands on science activities. I also like that they have scientists explaining things to kids and adults, so if... More

Great exhibits and IMAX theater. Parking was easy. Easy access off freeway. Its gets very crowded, but you you can pre purchase tickets online and for the big exhibits you have assigned entrance times.

We missed this on our trip to US last year when it was in Washington DC so it was a must on this trip. Well worth the visit, book online for priority access its really busy with kids on school excursions so if you have the chance to visit on a non school day it would be better. Amazing to... More

We strolled further and found the science centre! All of the exhibits are really interactive and are perfect for kids! We weren't so interested... More

The Endeavour was breathtaking. I'm from Africa and the chances of us ever seeing a Shuttle there are non existent.

A wonderful place for children, I wouldn't be surprised to hear of many budding scientists starting their careers after a visit here

We saw the space shuttle, and it was presented in the best possible way with pictures, and mission breakdowns surrounding her. There was a video playing that everyone was gripped to in silence, and the feeling of patriotism I experienced made me want to cry. Surreal. Bravo!

This museum has alot of fun things to do, and is more of a hands on type of museum, and there is alot to see, so be sure to allow adequate time. They also offer an Imax show for a fee. However, entrance to the Museum is free. A do not miss is the Endeavour Space Shuttle...... which is now... More
