Best place to take your kids when they have serious cabin fever or when friends are in town. Always something new to explore. Parking has gone up, so take public transportation if you don't mind paying $15 for parking.
Great place for the kids and adults to learn. You can spend all day here and parking is only $12. Admission is free to get in the California Science Center.
This museum is free. Which is nice. But a lot of their exhibits are broken.
Very cool things there I will definitely go back and definitely recommend it for the younger generation
It is a good place in our city of Los Angeles to visit it
Not many exhibits as before. Still a fun place for children
Lots of fun and science for free. Endeavor (must-see!) is only $3 or free with an iMax film. I liked the virtual shuttle experience that cost an extra $5.
A fantastic place for families with everything from unique aquariums to a space shuttle.
Great place to spend the day. So much to see and very informative. Great place to take your kids. Very educational.
Went to the King Tut special exhibit. Our time was for 2:45 but since it wasnt as crowded, they let us in earlier. Once you leave the exhibit though there is no reentry.
Have a great time.
Would be really great, if we can see the mummy of King Tut which is not on display...
Endeavor was fabulous to view! Experience of a lifetime!
Went for the King Tutankhamun exhibit and it was amazing and beautiful. It is just mind bending to imagine how old the world these items came from was. And then to see how much we have in common leads to some fun speculation. Lots of material to imaging all sorts of stories and tons of information with all the exhibits to put everything in perspective.
My advice? Spring for the audio tour, it really takes this exhibit to the next level. Totally worth it!!
Kids of all ages loved it. See the Endeavour, totally worth it. Plan the entire day but beware of the LA traffic. There is a tram stop right out front.
Amazing place!! Definitely worth the drive up. Make sure to give yourself plenty of time, since this is pretty much an all day type of place.
Hands on exhibits were awesome!
Always awesome...but when you come across your family history on display...it makes it that much more special!
An overrated museum that needs to update it's science exhibits that is unworthy of having a space shuttle on display. Now that I've gone I can't think of anything that would make me go back.
The California Science Center is the best value there is when it comes to museums in Los Angeles. Massive improvements are always underway and the museum is always worth a visit. Consider becoming a member!
Always a must to take your kids and your family California science center natural history Museum tonight someplace in LA
OMG we had so much fun. I am glad I came here. Really enjoyed myself
Visited the Endeavor. Good place for kids to learn.
Great to take kids and adults too :-) great educational trip. Pretty much free everything except special galleries. $12 cash only parking fee thats is a whole day of fun. We bring our own food since my kids are picky. Not much choices for food, and cost a fortune. Winner mom here Highly recommended
Just awesome Science Center. And for bonus it is for free. I am amazed with these centers, definetelly recommending.
Excellent place to bring kids and out of town guests. They have many interactive displays and exhibits. My favorite exhibit is the kelp forest tank. The best thing about the Science Center is that it is FREE!
Fantastic IMAX theater. Comfortable seats with incredible features.
It's a nice educational place ..it's a good place to take u r kids and have them grow an imagination
I was at the venue for a party. Really nice setup for a group celebration.
Loved this place. I visited with my 7 yr old son and we both loved all the exhibits. There is so much to see and learn for kids and adults both. The best part is the spacecraft Endeavor. The simulator rides are great, but note that the pricing for simulators changes in different levels.
Food court offers good inexpensive food. There is an IMAX as well.
The admission to the Science centre is free, but donations are appreciated.
If you go to California young or old put this on your to see list..It was fantastic for everyone in our group. 11 years old to 65..
if you visit make sure to see Space Shuttle Endeavour, separate ticket to enter the Shuttle part of the center is needed. enjoyed the movie about how the shuttle was welcomed by LA and hosted by the CSC.
Fun for every age. Tons of child friendly activities and hands on experiences. Well organized and helpful and friendly staff. Limited on food choices so maybe pack a lunch and eat on the benches near the rose garden. The garden is very romantic and a great place to take pictures.
The space shuttle Endeavour is really amazing!!!! I also like the souvenir stores!
Me and my friends had a mom's day and decided to take the kids to the science in are and we had a amazing time so much fun so much to see so many things to do
I remember going to the California Science Center as a younger kid; and seeing how much it has grown and taught people all over Southern California brings me lots of joy! I hope this place continues to grow, educate, and introduce people from all over to new concepts and a greater interest in science <3
One of my favorite museums to this day. They have so many exhibits and interactive displays. They almost always have some type of spacial exhibit going on through or the year. They also have the Endeavor space shuttle which is amazing. Parking is $12 but the museum is free entry. Definitely worth the visit!
I went with kids that I worked with and every one of them loved this place. There are a lot of good scientific infos they can learn from. Only down side is that some of the stations were not accessable due to maintenanace but overall this is a pretty good plave to spend a weekend with your kids
Had an awesome time at the King Tut exhibit. Also viewed the space shuttle Endeavor. The food court prices were reasonable, but the quality was poor. Good thing I didn't go for the food!
Went to the body works exhibition and it was pretty educational :P
Wonderful exhibits, friendly staff, the Challenger (!), and it's FREE!
I can see Endeavor. Although I had made a reservation, it was seen without crowding in particular.
I love this place so much to learn and the kids have a fun time learning. So I brought my family to experience it aswell
Best information desk staff Who are respectful and helpful when we ask we need the place to pray they accommodate us. Thanks. Fun place for kids. We had so much fun.
A must visit while in Los Angeles. This was our first visit. I was very impressed at the quality of the exhibits, the amount of exhibits, and that it was free admission! They're adding a new exhibit so we will have to return when they're done.
Awesome place to visit. Parking was convenient and nearby with places to eat. The only negative is the amount of people with running kids during peak times. I advise going on a weekday to avoid huge crowds.
Go here. Bring you kids. Leave smarter. 'nuff said.
Amazing!!!! Great for adults and kids it was pretty big. My favorite thing was getting to see the preserved hearts, brains ect. The only thing I didn't like was Tess mainly because the robots like that tend to freak me out. But even tho it still deserves 5 stars!
Saw "A Beautiful Planet". Last week showing. Second time seeing Endeavor.
$12 parking.
This place is a gem! , So much stuff , friendly staff, clean bathrooms , easy access ....I can go on and on, but you are better off just going out there and enjoy your day , this place is fantastic!!!
Endeavour was amazing. So much for every age to see.
This is an educational and fun place to visit. They offer hands on exhibits for all ages. Elevators for those with physical challenges. The food court has plenty to offer including delicious pizza. Staff is friendly, informed and inclusive. You can easily spend a full day here.
Amazing and gigantic place to visit. The displays are fabulous, extensive, very informative. The original space shuttle is there now, too, along with the final existing gas tank from the space program. Fascinating. The Rose Garden is amazing over a hundred and fifty varieties of roses, around 300 plants. Beautiful fountain outside. The food court has really good food, as well.
Best bet in L.A for a great relaxed, educational day with the kids. Everyone has a good time here. Lots of hands on, so much to learn. Beautiful tide pools, Endeavor, a giant himan body.
Really love this place, they have so many interactive things that you can try, is really recommend for going with your family, kids will love this place, the food section is also big, the only problem is that it was kind of hard to find a parking lot, but other than that it was good and fun, really recommend!!
Awesome and incredibly insightful experience. The food and wine were unexpectedly good too! Fair priced. $12 parking can be a bit much. Highly recommend the IMAX theater films.
Great family atmosphere and an ample space to explore for toddlers.
This is a great place to spend a day exploring. The only downside is that all the really cool exhibits cost extra money to see.
Knowledge is fun. Free admission. Air-conditioned. What more could you want.
