My wife and I LOVE science and natural history museums. It is truly enjoyable to learn new things outside our realms of expertise (microbiology). I was excited to see the math exhibit as most people seem to have an extreme dislike for maths, however of all the exhibits, it was here that I saw something that disheartened me. Giardia is not a bacterium, it is a eukaryotic protozoan parasite. Not even in the same domain of life as bacteria, which I would chalk up to a minor editing error by somebody who is not a biologist, heck it was a math engagement exhibit full of engineering and music components. That said, I did find all of the other exhibits to be lovely and engaging, particularly the kelp forest and the different ecosystems. Next time I hope to see the space shuttle. This museum is actually really nice and the way the community shows up on the weekends to support it is great. Who knew that they raised their own jelly fish from polyp to medusa phase?

So cool. Now you gotta choose when you go cause a lot of teen school children to dodge and you pay for the other exhibits like king Tuts it was interactive and very fun even if in a tourist kind of way. Definitely a must see for LA residents

Fun for adults as well as kids. :) Lots of interactive exhibits and free entry, although there are certain things -- hurricane machine, photo booth things, high wire bicycle, films, etc -- that cost money.

Always fun. You can learn a lot if your interest are in science. I know always learn a few new things everytime I come here.

I had not been to the center for a long time and went this past Sunday with a family friend from another country. I had a delightful experience. The facility is sun drenched and airy and the staff was professional and hospitable. I ended up interacting with three center staff members who were informative, friendly, and professional. I will go back again soon. Too much to see in one day and you can always see a movie and have lunch in the Rose Garden.

There are nice displays on animals but the spacecraft is the highlight. The Space shuttle is the best of them but they also have satellites, and space capsules including one that carried the chimp "Ham" into space. A bit crowded though.

Good for kids, but pretty boring for adults. Not comparable to the exploratorium in SF. Surface level info, felt like a lot of the museum could be replaced by an app

Nice way to enjoy an afternoon with kids. It's big with a ton of information for the kids. My favorite was the surgery theater. Kids enjoyed the earthquake drill. There is a $12 parking fee.

Such a great place to learn a variety of topics about science, from Ecosystems to the human body. The space shuttle Endeavor is a must see!

Just go! They have EVERY USA person capable Spacecraft! Mercury. Gemini. APOLLO! **SPACE SHUTTLE ENDEAVOR**
Know who else has a collection like that?
NASA HUNTSVILLE Alabama Manned Space Flight Center (of course! )
Smithsonian! In Washington DC.
And ... nobody else.
California Science Center is a truly fun and special place. There is a LOT more too! Ecosystems is an amazingly good and fun way to get a surprisingly deep understanding of the Earth's various Ecosystems.
Even the food is decent.
Home Town IMAX Quality ! What do I mean? IMAX Corporation has a special relationship with California Science Center IMAX. It's also the closest museum grade IMAX to IMAX headquarters...
And it's new, LASER projection!
What a difference. Be sure to see one!

My boyfriend and I went to do some photography and we got in a bit of trouble for bringing a tripod. I mean we stood in a corner and took time lapse photos. We were in no one's way, but the masses of school children running around, cursing up a storm and being loud and rude were totally okay. I can't recall seeing any signs that stated that there was no tripods allowed. Still, the exhibits were pretty cool.

The California Science Center was amazing. The Endeavor Space Shuttle alone was worth the trip what an amazing piece of American history. Being able to see King Tuts exhibit was beyond anything I could have imagined. This is the one and only stop in the United States. Many of the artifacts have previously never been out of Egypt until now. My only wish is that I would have had more time to see everything else. Even with spending the entire day there we still didn't get to see everything.

Love bringing the family down to L.A., here! Just pay for parking and you're good. No charge to enter. Lots of stuff for the kids to see and interact with (we have a 6&8 year old). You really could spend the whole day here. The topping on the cake is seeing the space shuttle (you do have to purchase tickets for this. It's $2 per ticket, extremely reasonable for what you see and well worth it). A family favourite!

Free and free to visit, many scientific designs can inspire interest in science. The space shuttle exhibition hall must first purchase tickets at the door to enter, but you can pay tribute to this great scientific achievement, and return the fare!

I have been coming here since I was a kid. Although it used to be a lot smaller. It is always fun to come here but definitely more fun to comes with kids. If you come here definitely go see an IMAX movie. The movies themselves are always so awesome. Don't forget to get your astronaut ice cream from the gift shop

Great place to take children from very small to teens. Plenty of free exhibits for children to explore and play with. Weekends tend to be extremely crowded which makes it more difficult to engage in making the visit an actual learning environment with the smaller kids. The parking costs $20.00 They do have a food court inside for light lunch fare as well as snacks and beverages. Outside independent vendors hock their wares whi h consist of beverages, sweets, chips, candies etc.
They are located on the same grounds as the the California African American Museum which definitely deserves a visit also.

Seeing the endeavor shuttle was awe inspiring. I almost got a little emotional as we watched the video of how it got to this location. The hours and labors of those individuals who had any connection to this spaceship truly had to have endurance. It was out of this world!

Great to see all the different parts of the space shuttle and that the non shuttle parts of the museum are free. While some is interesting there was quite a bit that seemed either broken or lacking in certain exhibits. Where most had 5 or 6 exhibits to that theme almost every one had something broken and needing to be fixed. Except for the shuttle where you had to pay for entry

It's so fascinating.so much to see it's amazing. We spent a whole week straight every day there and still did not see anything. I would go again and again and again.

Great place to bring kids, lots of cool things to see and do. Very educational and hands on. We saw one of the IMAX shows and it was very cool and 3 dimensional. We didn't get to see all of the exhibits so we will definitely be back.

Considering it's free, what the centre offers is great. There's a bit for every science field, but space and biology seems the main two in my opinion. It's great for both the kids and the scientists, but maybe for the latter is better to plan a visit during a week day or not during summer time, when the centre is packed full of kids running around everywhere. Some parts would do a renovation, but given the fact that it's free, it's ok. The Endeavour is definitely worth the 2 dollars extra, and it's the highlight of the centre. My two stars are due to the cruelty I witnessed in the animal section, where little chickens were inside a sort of cage, and they were standing next to a chicken-bake box! What kind of cruel joke is that???? I think that in a place where learning, and stretching our minds, is at the very heart of the essence of this whole building, this shouldn't be allowed. I'm very disappointed.

Overall it's a fun and informative experience, theres plenty to keep you occupied. The only downside is that it seems several of the interactive stations are down for service and a few of the areas are definitely aged running on programs that are two decades old. While its lacking a few updates, the science center if certainly worth a trip.
