California Science Center Reviews

Always a good place to visit and learn some interesting things in a fun way.

This place is great. Really informative and always tries to display something new.

This place is really cool but not as good as natural science n history museum. Inflated 12$ parking. N the imax theater sells out immediately even during the week days.

I went for the Dogs! exhibition, but really loved all the "free" exhibits. My 4 y/o son enjoyed the IMAX movie and the shuttle simulator best. Fun for all ages :)

I loved the California Science Center --- my friends and our five kids were honored by the awe and wonder created by the masterminds who make up the California Science Center. There is no entrance fee, but, remember parking is $12 if you cannot find street parking.

Great place to go if you have children, but it's definitely a circus!! Seeing the King Tut exhibit was awesome but milling around the hundreds while trying to do it made me feel like cattle being herded and being pushed, shoved, and breathed upon definitely added to the Disneyland effect. Perhaps next time I will aim for a weekday.

It's got a freakin spaceship. 5 stars just doesn't seem like enough. Oh yeah, and a bunch of other cool stuff.

Lots and lots to do and see great place for the family. Exhibits are always changing so it's never a dull moment.

Awesome place to visit and great for kids. Admission is free however parking is not.

It was an interesting experience, home of alot of cool and fun place to go to if you have free time on your hand. You'll never get bored as there a lot of thing you can do and they are very educational

Admission is donation based! The best part was seeing the retired space shuttle orbiter, Endeavour. No lines, no tickets required. Also this museum is right next to the natural history museum.

A great place for educational purposes. Beautiful views. Nice staff and interesting exhibits!! Great learning source. They even have an aquarium!

It was nice. The King Tut exhibit was really cool, but the young people who work there are pretty clueless. It's as if they really dont wanna be there. Paid to see the IMAX film and they literally just stand there like machines a d di nothing. Some seats were available, but they weren't bright enough to ask people to scoot down so people wouldn't have to sit on the steps/floor, which I imagine is a fire hazard. I guess I just expected a higher level of customer service oriented staff.

There is something for everyone.
From the smallest to the tallest, the youngest to the oldest and the funniest to the wisest.

Good Museum. It take 2 hs aprox. The Endeavour is the star.

Great exhibits for free, although the special ones sometimes not worth the money

Excellent place to learn and have an unforgettable experience

Love going to this museum to see the space shuttle. Great educational place.

It was fun but a little ghetto. Lots of broken stuff. Poorly designed experiments. The space shuttle was cool. Cool enough for kids. And it's a donation so you can do it on the cheap. Pricey parking though.

Go out and explore the Endevour. You will learn everytime something new

An excellent place where you learn to interact with your children

Amazing King Tut exposition ! Come see it while it's here.

Seeing Space Shuttle was one of my child dreams. This place was awesome, shame I didn't had enough time to see everything here.

Really hard to enjoy or touch anything when there are THOUSANDS of tiny field trip kids everywhere you go. There is no escape.

Amazing we enjoy four hours with the grandchildren.

I just can't begin to tell you how much I enjoyed seeing the Endeavor space shuttle. Everybody should see that exhibit. The whole place was busy with King Tut and everything else going on it was an absolutely wonderful time and you should make this part of your regular scheduled programming.

You will really enjoy it if you are science geek. There are lot of activities which the kids would enjoy. They will definitely learn a lot. The main exhibit is the NASA Endeavour. There is an entry fee for that.

If you have kids this is where it is at. I don't, so it was a bit difficult to make it fun

Great place for kids and family. However, they should really update or fix many interactive stuffs.

Free exhibits were great. Don't forget the Endeavor.

Science museum is great, they have some cool exhibits, but it feels like a lot of unused space, and so many more exhibits they could have regularly. Its a great place to take the kinds for the day, but I do wish they would add more exhibits and more interactive exhibits. Overall, great place to spend a few hours doing something productive

Museum interactive to learn playing with a lot of experiences that make complex concepts in play. It has a fantastic aquarium and the big attraction is the space shuttle Endeavor. It is worth reserving at least 4 hours to enjoy the visit. If you have available, there are other fantastic museums in the same park (Africa Natural History).

Must go. Amazing especially when you see the Endeavour spaceship

Absolutely amazing experience coming here with my family. Incredible exhibits and staff! The Endeavour museum was unbelievable.

Great museum and center. I had membership with them before. Always different great exhibits. I saw Tutankhamen exhibit, and also mummies exhibit in a past. Great educational programs for kids too. Fantastic place to spend whole day!

It's pretty awesome to go with your friends. Everything is in here. From technologies to habitats

It's really worth seeing anyone here in California must visit once

Best place to spend an afternoon. They have space ships and rope biking. I, and the 5 year olds in the museum, had so much fun.

This is a very entertaining and educating museum for visitors of all ages.
I enjoyed the spaceships, machinery, human body and environment as well as many other things.
I was surprised to find that admission is free.

Wonderful place, can highly recommend going - despite age, as long as you love science. Also worth getting a ticket for the cinema there.

Pretty good place to visit, especially if you or your kids are into science and learning. The star exhibit is without a doubt the Endeavor Space Shuttle Orbiter. The admission to the general area is free, with nominal charges for special exhibits.

This is a great family place, we learn and experience hands on too.. love this place..

Great science center. Lots of different exhibits. Something for the whole family.

Great place. Must visit if you are with kids. Entrance is free

It's wonderful to see, you Joe 's and marry's have to go and see this. Don't forget to see the king tut, and the shuttle exhibits. It will give you a tear.

Science center is a bit disorganized. I have been coming here since a little girl they have done great improvements and added great food and displays. Love that this place is still around just the customer service when purchasing is really bad. Disappointing, very rude and they seem annoyed of their jobs. I know I can be hard to deal with children and some adults but I went on a slow day. JESSE was the worst arrogant and very rude.

I think displays are getting too old and not maintained poor upkeep.Imax was a 5 star though.

Very, very cool place to visit, not just for kids. Lots to see and experience. The Space Shuttle exhibit is worth the price of admission.

I went with The City of Whittier pretty interesting stuff

The space shuttle is well worth the $3. It's massive.

Very cool stuff here, highly recommend to anyone in the area.

Everyone, who works there are very kind and hard working.

Love the variety of exhibits you can go to. Especially cool to see the Endeavor, and currently there's the Pixar exhibit that's really interactive and educational (only going through April!). Parking is a bit expensive at $12, be sure to reserve a time slot for Pixar and Endeavor ahead of time!

This place has great exhibits of the U.S. space program. One of the original space shuttles are housed here. There are old planes and spacecraft from the moon landings. There are also other visiting exhibits. We saw one of Pompeii cast molds. The movies and extra exhibits cost money, but the normal ones are free. Parking is easy.

This was a great experience to see Endevour. The staff was knowledgeable and interesting. The Space Shuttle history was fantastic. Also the rest of the museum was great. It was an educating time for sure with lots of interactive stuff for children too.

Very cool and exciting place. The IMAX theater is amazing!!
