California Science Center Reviews

It was fun to see the space shuttle close up. BUT be prepared to share your experience with LOTS and LOTS of kids on school trips. It is wonderful for them to experience but hard for the 'old folks' to see all we wanted to see if it had not been so crowded and noisy. Still worth seeing

Awesome place for kids. Especially 7+. Wish there was something this affordable in the San Francisco Bay area

The beauty of a place to visit with the kids is full of what to do about it

Awesome place, lots of experiments and information displayed in a fun way for everyone !

I love coming here with my daughter every now and then.

What an incredible place! So well done, just fantastic!

The science center is always awesome and worth plenty of stuff to do! Dont forget to check out the gift shop!!!

Crowded with summer camp kids. But still a great place to take the kid to.

Its very interesting one thing i didnt like was that they evacuated everyone.

Awesome museum! Pixar exhibition was great! Endeavor was great too. IMAX movies were good too. I recommend this place to everyone.

King tut exhibit was amazing to see all the artifacts. It could have been arranged better, for example one of the display cases had an English description on one side and Spanish on the other, but the Spanish side was up against a wall so it was not accessible. Further the museum it is in is a mess. An actual mess, there was a whole section that appeared to be storage, just open for viewing!

And worst of all they have a live animal exhibit. There was a bird that would just sit on the branch in a tiny glass cage for hours. It was so sad. Museums should NOT EVER have live animals.

Cool interactive exhibits. Great for kids and adults!

I had the most wonderful time here! We saw the Space Shuttle and the King Tut exhibit and loved every moment of it. We also had a pretty tasty lunch - pastrami sandwich. The museum was clean and not overly crowded. Every staff member I met was friendly and helpful in the most genuine fashion, and it made the experience so much better. The staff in the tank portion were especially informative. My only complaint would be that you have to go to the second floor to access several of the exhibits that are on the first floor, which I found very tedious. They had stations for refilling water bottles on every floor, and AED devices in readily marked areas, which I really appreciate.

Very interesting has suits that the first Austronauts used the capsules that they used very good place to meet in Los Angeles ca

Great fun and awesome to take the kids too. The educational information is awesome.

Great place for a family adventure. Great for the whole family, so many things to do and see, Love this place, will be going back again soon.

Great place,kids will learn a lot here. And the best part is that it is free.

Very nice place to visit with children educative and very clean enviroment

Great IMAX movies and science classes and camps. There is plenty to see at this free museum. There is an additional cost for short term exhibits, but they are generally worth the it.

It s really shocking to see the space shuttle for myself!
There are many exhibitions in different areas to visit.
There are many interactive and experiential scientific displays, very educational and inspiring, and suitable for adults and children to visit together

Apart from the exhibition on canine life there is good food and a souvenir shop with affordable prices and nice

50th anniversary of Apollo 11, as amstrong said "It's a small step for a man, but a great leap for humanity", but that great leap was only to marvel at the power and majesty of who created the entire universe.

Great exhibits, including the Endeavor space shuttle. Must visit for kids if you are in LA.

If you are disappointed with the museum because your kids didn't have enough FUN? then please keep your kids home and out of the adults way! All these brats spoil it for many of us. They don't give a darn about the exhibits just that they're out of class. What do my taxes pay for?

Parking ok, fun activities for kids on a learning path. Ever since I was small I loved it and my kids love it too!!

Very full and amazing place. Many things to see and do.

Always a fun choice for the kids and parents... Very hands on and free!

A place to attend with family, recreational with many activities!

Very good for kids..you need a whole day to cover all of it..

Easy to get to with neat exhibits to experience, like the King Tut exhibition.

Incredible. So many amazing exhibits. Excellent quality

Long wisdom, a great place for children to have fun

Coooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool

King Tut was a bit of a dissapoinment.no death mask or sarcophagus.thr posters all over the place show the distunctive sarcophagus.it was a bit of bait and switch.

Such a fun low cost place to visit for both kids and adults! So many interesting exhibits come and go all the time.

Loved it. I got to see the Endeavor ! Right next to the Coliseum. We'll be back.

Space. The shuttle and its outline is worth the visit. The rest is beautiful only for children and teenagers with many experiments

The King Tut exhibition was awesome, the 3D Space movie was pretty cool and Endeavor kicks butt..

Very informative I am just 11 and I went to this in 5th grade.

Bit too crowded with kids, but excellent nevertheless.

Endeavor

It is a very nice experience to enjoy with the family, if you have children it is perfect for them, we enjoyed it very much

Had a great time. The exhibits were great. 3D movie on Hubble repair was outstanding.

Always a nice and beautiful and fun place to take the kids

So much fun, great learning experience for both children and adults

Traveling exhibit was excellent (pixar). Other exhibits seemed a little dated. Seeing the space shuttle was awesome though!

It was a fun place to visit but being a free facility for kids and stuff a lot of this stuff was broken or well used to wear it didn't work anymore also it got crowded fast we enjoyed the museum aswell! They had a butterfly atrium when we ent!

I absolutely love taking my kids to this place. It is free and with so many interactive activities for kids.

Amazing place to take kids. So much to see and do, plus its free.

Really loved visiting the Science Center. It's really big and has a lot of information. Don't forget to visit the Endeavor. It doesn't cost a lot to take a look here. You have also a parking nearby. That makes it easy to come and go away when you want.

Informative, educational, family oriented environment!

The site offers a lot of information about aeronautical technology and also about things related to the human body. Very interesting.

Carls jr martin luther king blvd and Vermont, should be boycotted !!!! They will not give a paying customer water to drink with their meal....even customers with kids do not get some kinda courteous cups for the adults or children...the new manager excuse is cost....if you dont drink soda you have to buy a empty cup... When i asked about the price he wanted more than a soda costs like $2.00.... I have never experienced this at any other Carl's jr restaurant s...this is not a restaurant that cares for its paying customers....

Free. Fun exhibits although nothing that really blew my 10yr old's hair back. The IMAX show was the highlight. It was top notch.

It was awesome! I enjoyed seeing the Endeavor, the space Shuttle! It was huge! There are sooo many interesting things there! I would suggest going there when in the area down in southern Ca. Free to get in & well worth checking it out

Me and my girlfriend had fun walking around and seeing everything , just wish we had more time to read everything or interact with things we missed .

Great place to visit. Lots to see, great place to bring the kids. The King Tut exposition was amazing.

Good to visit with kids or family. Cant get crowded on the weekends. Good way to spend 2-3 hours and learn something.

Teaching children that animals are simply tools...they kill the chicks when they grow too old to be used in their demonstation.

Good place to go with family, there is a lot to do

Lots of activities and free admission...only small issue is that not all the "hands-on" exhibits were working (could have been maintained a bit better). Overall, though, we really enjoyed our visit!

Some displays were under repair and some seemed a bit dated but overall a great experience. Knowledgeable staff and a fun experience.

As usual everything at the California Science Center is very informative. Enjoyed the Dogs Tale exhibit & the Super Power Dogs IMAX movie immensely!

Space exhibits are amazing; a lot of the rest of the centre is woefully out of date unfortunately.

Very cool place to come with the family, dont miss the IMAX.

It's big, amazing and free (the space shuttle costs 2$)

Great place to go with kids for California residents on a casual afternoon.

Great place for all. I recommend this place definitely. Bring ur kids, a date, friends, family, tourists, anyone. Bring ur own lunch. Theres a beautiful rose garden. Enjoy. Have fun. Take pictures.
