Excellent place to take kids. Many of the exhibits are made to touch and it s great for my toddler who wants to touch everything and get into everything.

It s awesome that it s free to get in. Special exhibits cost extra but there s so much to see that you really don t have to pay for the extra exhibits unless you really want to.

Endeavour is free during the weekdays but costs money on the weekends and holidays. However, I think the cost is minimal like $3 or something like that.

Parking is cash only at $12 which is steep but that s LA for you.

Also, the CSC has a food court that is also pretty pricey but has a good variety - American fast food, tacos, pizza, cafe/bakery, and a convenience store/market that offers all kinds of drinks (juice, milk, etc) and small bites like fresh fruit, cheese and crackers, chips, etc. The gluten free options are limited but you can bring your own food.

Food isn t allowed in the museum if it s out. As long as you keep the food in your bags, you ll be fine.

The Expo rose garden is just outside the back doors so you can go have a picnic and there is seating inside and out of the food court area.
