California Science Center Reviews

Want to come back, there are so much to do and explore. Many thanks to Jorge, Kimmy Jesse, Donald, Janet, Ashley, my "X", and kids for such a wonderful and fun day. Love you all

A must see in Los Angeles! The Endeavor is incredible and they always have new exhibits.

You could spend all day im the lush rose garden, shaded seated park settings and free Endevour exhibit. Also, it's easily accessible by metro.

I have been here many times, on field trips as a student and visiting with friends as an adult. The museum has free admittance, including the space shuttle exhibit. You do need to plan ahead for the space shuttle exhibit, because it requires a free ticket to prevent overcrowding. The exhibits are all well maintained, fun, and informative.

I would highly recommend taking children or out of town guests here as part of the Los Angeles experience.

Great place to learn stuff. Tiring if you're going to check out the entire place in one visit. Free admission and paid membership gets you some perks such as discounted exhibit and show tickets along with discounts on their stores, etc.

Love coming here with my son. We have a blast. He likes all the bugs and animals, but when we get to the space exhibition we are both in awe. He and I have to leave every time with a little souvenir

It s a great museum! The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because there wasn t a lot of things to do. This place does have The Space Shuttle Endeavor and a big theatre, but it doesn t have as many exhibits as for example, The Franklin Institute in Philadelphia or the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago. Great museum though!

The staff members in each area are so friendly and knowledgeable! I will be going back because I only had two hours before they closed. The space shuttle exhibit is INCREDIBLE and I loved the fighter jets suspended from the cielings and every area was interesting including the biology and island sections!

Excellent option of Museo and to learn about science. Worth at any age.

It's a good place to learn about science, but I was surprised by how many activities cost money.

Interesting exhibits, especially seeing the endeavour space shuttle which was amazing. You can sometimes save money by buying a ticket for the imax, and getting free entry to the endeavour exhibit.

Great place, interesting even though I'm not a fan of NASA stuff I must admit that it was very entertaining

Lots of neat stuff to see here for FREE! Easily accessible by public transportation (Metro Expo Line) or if you like sitting in LA traffic, a car. If you have to drive, just remember that parking here is cash only!

We really had a fun day and the children learned a lot!

Very good free science museum. Has some exhibits that have a charge.

Very fun of you want to go out a learn new things. And if you go you MUST see the spaceship.

The Endeavour is amazing to see in person and the kids absolutely loved the interactivity of the exhibits! Definitely worth the trip!

Excellent place to take on a cheap date and do some fun exploration. Great place for kids

Seeing the Endeavor Space Shuttle was beyond awesome! I cant waiy to go again.

Good place to spend a good family day, and it's free

Completely free except for the IMAX and a must see for school kids

Very cool location next to the old Olympic stadium. Endeavour (OV -105) was amazing to look at in person, and I highly recommend the Los Angeles history section as it is beautifully presented.

It is very good, ideal to spend time with children and see curious things

Support the science center and donate. It is a wonderful resource and should be preserved for generations to come! Do it now.

Great space exhibits, so cool to be able to see things that have actually left our planet and returned. Particularly like the Gemini and Mercury capsule , definitely the right stuff,

Very nice, amazing space shuttle, so many wonderful exhibits. The place to go to whenever you are bored. Whenever I come to California I just can t wait to see their new exhibit. Also has a cool gift shop with funny and unique products.

Great place for kids! Good educational, IMAX experience, Rose Garden, and Yummy food court with variety of goodies!

We went to the new dogs exhibit. It was fascinating, hands on, educational, and super cute! If your kids like animals (or not) they will love this exhibit. There are real dogs during the educational seminars but the one we went to was super crowded. You have to pay a few bucks for this exhibit but the rest of the museum is free. The new IMAX film about rescue dogs around the world is amazing! that s a little extra cash too but totally worth it!

Free to enter, $3 to see the shuttle (parking $12). Great exhibits to inspire any kid or adult. This museum is a gem and a resource for the kids of Los Angeles and beyond. The space craft exhibit has scale models of space probes and space capsules. These exhibits are well done and lit very well so you can see a lot of the detail these modern artifacts have.
I have always loved this place since I was a boy, and it still impresses me as an adult. Go, take your kids and enjoy this wonderful museum and Exposition Park.

A Dog's Tale (Tail) was AMAZING. I will definitely be going back again before it's gone.

I thought it was boring. The only thing that I liked was the aquarium. But my kids loved it. That's all that matters.

Parking and traffic are horrible but the location is so worth it. The Natural History museum is just across the rose garden. Huge Oak trees in the picnic area.

Excellent place, full of interesting things. Worth a visit. Super recommended

Only good thing was the free entry.
An outdated and broken science museum in advertently saving pieces of 90 s tech. Most of the displays did not function and the animal enclosures looked outdated, small and torturous.

Great experience with the little ones. We also enjoyed it a lot!

Best place to take friends and family, there is a lot to See and learn. You only pay for parking which is $12, but the entrance is free. My favorite part is the aquarium especially when they feed the fishes. The bathrooms are always clean.

Always a fun place to visit. Lots to see and to do. The crowds can be a bit annoying but step right or to the rose gardens and you'll feel as if you are the only one there.

The little ones loved the interactive exhibits and there are many different areas to explore.

Fun place to visit. IMAX, special exhibits, the whole experience. Bring the kids. Get a Science Center Membership.
