California Science Center Reviews

Very suitable for children to play, and it's free, just charge 12 yuan for parking

Great place to take your kids. And it's free to enter and 12 bucks cash to park.

The Tut exhibition is wonderful, well displayed and very engaging

This museum is GREAT. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in the past.

Tons to do and see! We range in age from 40's to teens and we all enjoyed it!

Great day, saw the actual space shuttle. Just wish there was a way like a walkway you could look down into, or walk thru it. Or even a second floor area to take photos of. Only had time for this building as it takes hours to go thru. The garden is beautiful too.

It was a free weekend. The ecosystem part was the blast. They closed up a section to prep for the next exhibition at the time I visited but now the new exhibition is on.

Ive always loved coming here,my son and cousins love it too

Very well done displays and exhibits. Plays to a younger crowd but still interesting enough for adults. Rose gardens out back are gorgeous.

The best way to educate one itself. ...and enjoy as well..best place ever

I love this place the level of educational exhibits are simply amazing and educational

The science center is always a good place to spend a day. You can see the Tut exhibit right now and that is very special.

Fantastic! Wish we could have spent more time because we barely scratched the surface of everything it had to offer. The space shuttle was amazing.

Always something new to this science center. Great place to take the family. A lot of hands on activities for childrens of any age.

Perfect plan for families. Free admission to permanent exhibitions. Temporary ones are recommended

Very interesting enjoy being there very comfortable

This was 3rd time visiting, but my fiance's first time. The Eco-systems exhibits were informative and informative. Loved the sea life.
Seeing the center through my fiance's eyes was great. All he wanted to see was the Endeavor Space Shuttle. It's only $2 dollars. He and I were both in awe. I saw it being pulled down Martin Luther King Blvd back in October of 2012, but it was like seeing it for the first time again. Took loads of pictures.
We missed a lot of the other exhibits, and can't wait to go back.
Parking is $12, but entry to the Science Center is free. Love that!!

I went to the Science Scenter with the main objective of seeing Endeavor up close. Worth the visit. But there you will find several other exhibitions, some interesting and some a little less. But it's a good choice for kids and science fans.

The perfect place to learn playing with children, a great experience for children and adults.

Space! One of three NASA shuttles is found here, which almost makes the price of admission alone. However there is a ton of other amazing things to explore and learn about here. You could spend all day inside.

Wow! This place is awesome! Would totally come again. Parking is great, they have a fabulous display of ecosystems and the Endevour. Do come here!

Other than the science topic and science history you can find in your whole life, this place is a fantasy.

We saw the IMAX film and King Tut exhibition on display here. You should see this once in a lifetime display before it returns to Egypt permanently...

This place is fabulous. A visual and audio delight for children and adults of all ages. Home of the space shuttle "Endeavour" the center has a rich display of NASA space capsules, suits and photographs. I was fortunate enough to be there during the King Tut exhibit (which was the last time any King Tut artifacts will be allowed outside of Egypt). The treasures displayed were simply breathtaking. When observing the craftsmanship and beauty of the pieces on display one can easily forget that all of these treasures were never meant to be seen by the eyes of man once they were entombed with the King.

Awesome place, you have to check it out, especially if you want to see Nasa's Endeavor space shuttle

Great place to learn more about the Journey of King Tutankhamun

We love this place! So much to learn and explore for free!

Had a lot of fun. The price to view the Endeavor plus watch the movie for a family of 3 was incredible. My only complaint is that they're not open later than 5 on a Sunday.

It was cool but it was eat to expensive 40 dollar's to see king tut adult and kid 40 dollar's

It was really fun, lots of fun stuff but I m not spoiling it for you

Loved the king Tut exhibition, strongly suggest the audio guide

Went to see The King Tut exhibit. It was $60.00 for two people and parking was $12.00. It was ok, I expected more since its all over the city being advertised. Very few real items in the museum. It was ok. Gift store over priced for some items we paid $14.00 for a tee shirt, that was reasonable. Key chains were $7.99 and some of the tut pictures looked funny.

This has always been a place of fun for me ever since it opened. Great for people of all ages. Simi costly on the food, but great other wise. Must have cash to pay for parking

Was fortunate enough to catch the King Tut Exhibit.

Love the improvement done since the space shuttle has arrived. Readed when complete they will have a complete shuttle launch pad set up with the boosters and everything. Cannot wait to see it

Beautiful museum with free admission. 3D movie: panda / nasa both excellent quality. Possibility of paid parking.

Huge place with a lot of interesting exhibitions. Learn new things in an interesting way

Lots of exhibits. Spent five hours there. Kept the kids occupied.

Great place to take the kids, natural history museum is right next door too

Great learning experience for kids. Lots of things science related.

You can just leave me here. Seriously, I'm not coming out.

The free admission is definitely a plus! The building is not too large and has decent exhibits of introductory science topics (the human body, climates, buildings and structures) - great for kids and adults alike.

Great place! Loved being there with my son and his family!

First class.
We have membership in the science museum in Ottawa so we got in to this museum for free. ( exchanges with hundreds of others ) The kids really enjoyed it but the eating area is very small and people are parked there for hours. It would be great if they had more places to sit and watch the kids. Oh well. It was wonderful! For special exhibits you must reserve early!

The view of the shuttle is an impressive sight as well as other interesting attractions. Time that people eat there very quickly.

Interesting exhibits. Great for children. Has too little detail for technically interested adults in large parts of the museum. Space shuttle Endeavor is a must-see: This exhibit offers detailed historic information about the the US space program. Large parts of the museum can be visited free of charge.

Great place for kids and special collections. The food court gets a little loud and noisey, but a walk through the gardens in the back offers a respite from the heards of class groups inside.

A good museum, you can find a lot of interesting stuff!

great place to go with ur friend
lots of fun

I love this place never get tire of it. If you come with family an little once try this the place.. lots to do fun day

The dogs exhibit is great for the younger crowd. The endeavour exhibit is great for all ages!

Awesome place! I could easily spend an entire day there.

Good show venue, was not able to get photos with wife as kid had thrown up at the picture station and it was not cleaned up in over an hour. If not for that I would have giving a 5 star rating.

Awesome hands-on stuff and the Endeavour shuttle <3

Clean, free, air conditioned and well done exhibits. Only minus is an unmentioned $12 cash only parking fee.

It was a fun place. At first i thought it was just some boring sciencenter but it turned out to be fun. There was a lot of kids there I couldn't really do any of the fun/cool stuff.

Endevour Space Shuttle can be seen here supported on seismic base isolation system designed by Arup. The speed of water vapor emissions when the shuttle was taking off was about 15,600 kilometers per hour! To get a better understanding of this number, one need to compare this with design hurricane wind speed of about 200 kilometers per hour for which the high-rise buildings in Florida are normally designed for.

Parking is 12$ & I believe it's only cash. Getting inside is free but if you want to see any of the exhibits or imax films there's a charge. It's a really neat place for adults & kids. We go here a few times a year. Recently we went to check out the King Tut exhibit & it was well worth it highly recommend it.

Great free museum. Loved the Endeavor space shuttle exhibit. Have to pay for simulators and special shows (imax, Pixar) but lots of interactive fun. Some exhibits showing their age.

A great place to take the kids free of charge. Ample parking and helpful staff.

A great place to go for those that are into science. Admission is free, but certain exhibits have a small charge. Absolutely worth your time. Plus it is right next to the coliseum that was used for the Olympics and the USC Trojan football games.

The California Science Museum is the final home for the Endeavor Space Shuttle. We came here as part of a tour group to see it. There's a lot more to the museum than just this, but this is the star attraction. We also rode the Space Mission Simulator, which was an extra charge, but rather fun. It's tame enough for most people.
This is a great activity for children as it makes learning fun, but we were all adults in our group and everyone enjoyed it.

In reality I went to the park of the roses .. it is beautiful. With the variety of colors. Perfect for. Take photos

Kids will love it and yeah they have a decommissioned space shuttle Endeavor there and it's huge! Easy parking $12 a day and lots of things to explore..
