"Well don't expect a docent, piece notation or recorded tour to help you through this miraculous cultural experience. The museum has everything from early California to Ancient Chinese to the Gems of Medici but it sure does not seem to have nice helpful docents or tours (live or self guided). Don't..." bother looking confused or asking for help as neither worked too well. There were a few educational signs with movie times and some nice Chinese materials but some docent tours would really help the novice, even if they were recorded and self-guided. Too bad great eclectic collection but no sense of shared cultural experience to be found. Definitely go if you can go it alone as you likely may have to at least on a Tuesday.

"The Kids had a fantastic time with everything they say saw and played with in this place. Parking was decent.
The highlight for ours was their time doing grocery shopping. Very real, painstakingly done grocery with high educational value in nutrition, money concept, etc.
There was also time for ..."just going playground stuff within indoors.
The dinosaur exhibit was very engaging with info, while little kids can play with "wands" that open up treasures along the way, keeps their interest!
I enjoyed the earthquake chamber (although I've been through many of those)! But also enjoyed a game with the family sorting garbage and recycling. Amazing exhibit.
Finally, at the time the Indiana Jones exhibit was on-going, and it was a fine exhibit. The extra fee was more than worth it for that.
