I'm a homeschooler and my son loves the hands-on activities that Pacific Science Center has. Some of the hands-on activities are touching starfish, anemone, hermit crab, building air pressure, measuring the amount of sugar in drinks (like sodas, juice, milk, water), etc.
It also has IMAX movies that you can watch on Volcanoes, Turtle Odyssey, Butterflies, etc. It also has a Laser Dome which I will definitely look in to the next time I take my son there!
Getting a membership would be worth it, and if you have Medicaid, they provide a discounted membership for the whole family for a year. So take your children, enjoy learning while having fun!
