"The Space Shuttle Endeavor is parked on-site, there’s an IMAX theater, and you can ride a high-wire bicycle perched 43-feet above the ground. Those are just some of the flashiest thrills: Little ones can experience the ice walls of the arctic, the aridity of the desert, and a view of the ocean floor. Plan to spend multiple hours."

This was my first time going, and spending time looking around was kinda entertaining. All the different games that they've made and everything about the science center made me smile :) The science center itself was free, their was also people stationed outside telling you where to go. They were indeed helpful and helped us navigate our ways throughout the whole building. I'd 100% recommend visiting any of these weekends, maybe with family or friends who get entertained easily with anything ♡

Visit date: Sep 13, 2024, entered at 11 a.m. Parking fee: $20/day, must leave before 5 p.m. This is the best science museum I’ve ever seen! There’s no admission fee, and inside there’s a food court and a gift shop. It’s incredibly educational – the exhibits aren’t just sitting there waiting for people to learn; many are interactive and designed to actively engage kids’ interest. Not to mention, there’s a children’s play area, an aquarium, and a fascinating section with live animals! The California Science Center has a huge section dedicated to space exploration, and they’re even building a new space shuttle gallery, which is super exciting for the future! You can’t explore everything in just one day if you’re visiting with kids. I highly recommend this place for people of all ages. The exhibits are fun and educational!

Out of all the places I went on my trip this had to be the best. It was free, the exhibits were not minimal, but rather interactive. Even it was it was closing there were plenty of people around, but I really just enjoyed my time until the last 10 minutes and nobody made it an issue. I would love to come back, I would actually come every day if I could. I even liked that they had kids skateboarding outside on one of the ledges and nobody Yelled at them, they let the kids skate! Yay

I had a wonderful day at the California Science Center museum ! They have lots of amazing exhibits notably the Lockheed A-12 Blackbird: This is the precursor to the SR-71 Blackbird and was used by the CIA for reconnaissance missions. It’s known for its sleek design and incredible speed, reaching over 2,000 miles per hour. The Tess Exhibit every 30 minutes is designed to be informative for adults and young children ! So much to see for the whole family ! There is no charge for entry there is a 20 dollar parking fee !

Been going here since a kid. It had been a few years and it has only gotten better with all the Endeavor and space edition. Very interactive place even for adults. Admission is free but parking is 20 bucks.

Took my family here and we absolutely loved it. Everything was clean and open, staff amazingly friendly and helpful and definitely enough to keep kids and adults entertained. The DaVinci Exhibit was mind blowing and the Cinema was so fun. Definitely would come here again soon
