Discovery Science Cube Reviews

Good plsce for small kids to play and learn. Love the fact that the have new exhibit and event throughout thr year in addition to the core topics.

Great place for kids to explore different scientific experiments in fun ways. My advise...kids should be 4 years min. otherwise not much to do. Annual pass is worth it - you can park in the lot by the mall if the parking is full.

Plenty of educational exhibit's for children to play with.

Went with 3rd graders on their field trip and they loved it.

Horrible the way i was treated got laughed at made fun of an got terrible service and attiudes from every 1

Great, nice, & clean facility, lots of interesting things to explore!

Loved the bubble fest!!! It's my favorite event going on at the discovery science center.

We visited on the reciprocal program from another center. Parking you have to pay for but worth it. . All my kids enjoyed it ( 3, 9,11,11,12) The Dino exhibit is what drew us there. Typical science center exhibits otherwise like the many we have been to in the country. Definitely worth the trip

Esther at the coffee and snack bar was awesome. Everything is kid size, and interactive I highly recommend this place

The Discovery Cube in O.C. is a wonderful hands on experience for children and adults alike. My 4 year old grand daughter loved learning about bubbles and the best formula to make them as well as how to shop in a market of the future and being part of a mission control for a trip to Mars.

Dinosaur exhibit was great. There was about 7 dinosaurs, other than that all the other rooms seemed to have no working A/C. Outside was cooler than inside. The dinosaur attraction outside was all not functioning at all. The dino store outside was not in service, all of this and they still charge full price. When I complained to the manager for some type of compensation she laughed at me as if I was ignorant and said there is a notice on the website. Which when I was on it doing research before I went, I didn't see any warning of any kind about non functioning A/C rooms. Otherwise I would not have planned on going on such a hot day. We litterally left because it was too hot inside the rest if the museum. All this I complained to the manager about and she looked at me with a smile as if I was crazy and said sorry I can't give any refund or comps. This was the first time and will be my last time visitng. Hopefully they make better decisions in the future.

This is a great place for families since it has activities for kids of all age groups. A must-do if you're looking for a fun learning atmosphere for your chikdren!

Excellent place for children all ages. Enjoyed learning along with my kids. The facility had a few things that weren't working correctly. And I was a bit underwhelmed at the friendliness and helpfulness of staff. Barely saw any when we were there and those we spoke with didn't seem to want to be there.

Over priced .. thought there would be way more activities for the kids to do. Over priced food. Did everything in less then 2 hours and was $53. Too much. We won't be back

Really disappointed, we spent like 2 hours here and really wanted to leave.

Headed to the DSC with 3 bundles of energy (one 5 years old and the two others 7) in hope of spending some exposure to learning AND wearing them out. We arrived at 11:00 am and at the 5:00 pm closing time they were still going strong. They had a blast. Very interactive, informative and diverse areas, from space exploration to dinosaurs. The grocery shopping was done twice! All in all, I think that I made a good choice. I recommend for 3-4 and up.

It's a lot of fun but too much money for such a short experience.

Great place to go staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Would have been more entertaining with a few more amenities to teach the kids. Overall good time enjoyed it unfortunate that a couple of the displays were broken and unable to be used. Otherwise this would have been a 5 rating.

The place is quite educational however a lot of the machines aren t working. Basically you come in, you re on your own. Very minimal staffs not very knowledgeable, it a good place to hang out with the kids but don t expect much.

The Doc McStuffins exhibit is great! My 2 1/2 year old loved it. Them museum itself is geared towards older kids but it's interactive so the younger ones love all the touching they can do. Great experience!

Great place to visit with children. It s so much fun for kids as well as adults. Wonderfest was really good.

There is a lot to do. They change the exhibits frequently enough to make having the membership a great value. We never see everything in one visit. The parking pass is a great deal too. The Long Beach Aquarium could learn something from the Discovery Cube in that way. The food is convenient & appetizing, but really expensive. Bring food, especially if vegan. I find the options at the cafe cost prohibitive.

All the games and experiments are kids friendly. It's a good place to introduce science to kids. The dinosaur display is awesome.

It s amazing! My kids love the place, absolutely 5 stars. The whole place is very clean, and there are many things to do and observe!

Small museum, but a lot of things to do. Parking costs $5 and is limited. Arrive early to avoid parking in the farther lot. Teachers get in for free with proof such as current year's pay stub. They have a little cafe inside that sells food. We went on a Monday at 10:00 and were able to finish by 12:00 before school buses rolled in with summer camp kids.

Nice place for kids
A lot of fun games
3D movie is fun

1st Sunday of each month is free for bank of America card holder

This place needs a makeover...old exhibits, the last time we went here we complained and they gave us a refund bc half the stuff was closed, and there was mold on the steam machine...it was gross.

It is fun and all but there are much more interactive childrens' museums out there. There is not much to do here. Most exhibits are watching and are not interactive.

Cute and fun place for kids. As an adult that went with her BF, it was still fun and we got silly, but I just wish there was more for us to do.

Very entertaining, great place to bring the little ones they have a ball. It comes handy when you wind up stuck baby sitting by yourself...

Perfect for children and everyone there is very friendly

They have great areas for the kids to explore and new exhibits frequently. My kids love this place and it's hard to get them to leave. The cafe also serves some really cute foods as well.

There's lots to see and play. My kids loved it here. I got a year membership. Great place to spend the day with the kids. We had a lot of fun.

Was not planning a trip here but got rained out and thought the kids would love to go to a science museum. Over all I think the parents had more fun this place has something for everyone of all ages

Advertises free admission for science center but doesnt say after the 18$ charge for the cube. Bleh!

Yes my kids had a blast for about an hour! And then you start back in the same spot you began. Bur still my kids had a ball until everything was done being saw which was very fast not as big as one would think of!

We did not check the closing time and we arrived an hour early. We could not appreciate everything. But I think there is NOT much difference between the Tijuana and this one except for the cost that here is more expensive.

My kids love to go to the different exhibits here. It s very educational for kids and if you

Major safety concerns for little ones. Exposed sharp corners at eye level all over the place in the first floor area with bubble fest. Cheap plastic fence used to create barrier is completely inappropriate for children, exposed raw sharp end with no thought to child safety. Tripping hazard in stroller parking area (small brace on plastic fence) Sharp edged table in tot area perfect for splitting little heads and everything else open. Exposed extension cord, no padding on pillars with sharp corners. Inappropriate placement of shoe rack too close to jumper ingress/egress. My daughter was ejected from the opening when a teenaged volunteer was not watching. She hit her head on the shoe rack which was approximately 1.5' from the opening. Her forehead had a visible bump and the haematoma is finally clearing up. Lucky she didn't hit the edge of the shoe rack which has an extremely sharp and jagged edge. No staff or manager on the floor and no one checking on volunteers. This place is one seriously hurt kid away from a major law suit! Don't have that kid be your kid! I was standing four feet away from the opening and saw my poor daughter get poshed or bounced (didn't see why she was flying through the air, just saw that she was) out of the jumper and smash her little head into a wooden shoe rack. It could have broken her neck the way she hit. We were extremely lucky. The bubble fest show was excellent and well produced. There were plenty of staff members and volunteers present to make the show safe and fun for all ages. The only issue is with the downstairs bubble fest area. I am not a safety nut at all but this area is dangerous.

Always a great learning experience we got the privilege of meeting one of the artists from Skylanders everybody is so attentive to all the children and willing to help out without even asking amazing place I had to buy the membership considering it applies for LA area and Orange County, great job you guys keep up the good work can't wait to see what fun you have in store for us next

The bubblefeast show was amazing...my son and I had a blast....

They didn't turn off the lights for the short film. The worker just left us in there

Same stuffs as 2 years ago, not worth the family membership, don't make that mistake, it's supposed to make kids inspired and interested in science, not the other way around, the plastic grocery stuff, Bank of America room, recycling section and the hockey places are very disappointing. They don't refund unhappy memberships.

Awesome place to spend from an hour to a whole day. Bring your food or buy on the spot. A lot of experiments and models kids could get interested in. The best time is around noon work days. On busy days it is difficult to find parking.

teaches kids the harsh reality of shopping, waste, and i can't remember what else. i loved it as a baby so it's epic tho

It is an neat place for people to test science. It is great for educational purposes, seeing the laws of the sciences and to just have good fun. It traces everything from magnetic forces to dinasoars feces.

Awesome field trip with my daughter school! Great staff & exhibit for all to enjoy, so much to do, def will be coming back with my Family!

An entertaining but small museum and few extra activities

Went with my kid for her school trip and had a good time. Pretty interesting place. Lots of activities. Wouldn't mind going back

It is very suitable for parents to bring their children to play, let the children understand various natural knowledge and space knowledge.

The kids love it. Always something new for them to discover. Great place.

Very over-rated, not much to do at all. Empty areas, outta date exhibits

Climate controlled 2 story area is great for toddlers to get their wiggles out while beating the heat.

On the first Tuesday of the month Santa Ana residents get in free.

One of the best places in Orange County to bring young kids to learn about science and the environment. Recommended more to families that want to spend at least 4 or 5 hours doing fun stuff engaging with their kids

Went here as a kid and I loved it I recently took my little sister to the cube and she absolutely loves it and she can't wait to come back. I love that's she's having fun but at the the same time she is learning what else could I ask for

The kids loved it here, we have a 7,5,2 year old! I liked too! LOL

Doc McStuffin exhibit is fun for kids but the exhibited is space is too small with limited toys.

Been going here for years and love the whole atmospheric energy everytime . My kids love the different events that are happening at least 4x a year . Really fun fun place

My son loved this place, the rocket is pretty exciting!

Good activities for the kids, somewhat crowded and chaotic.

Clean facility with plenty of hands on activities for kids.

Great place for the kids, Lazer bubble show was awesome.

My son had a great time and it was decently priced.

A cool place for younger kids, and the gadgets are very interesting. But it does get repetitive, and the food looks... interesting I would say. But they do sometimes have special things (like bubble fest). The store is great too.

Every child would love to play in this place for there are different colors painted on the wall and there are different toys displayed everywhere. They could choose also where to play especially if the kids have the desire to explore a new thing because as we all knew that they have different likes. There are also kids wanted to play the specific game they are good at. Mommies, bring your kids here!

So i first went to the discovery cube during the bubble fest and I have to say that it was not bad at all. My son was so happy to play with the may bubble "attractions" they had set up. But something that was the high of the day was the bubble show which lasted approximately 30min. The great thing about the show i that the kids could sit right in the front on the floor which is very nice because we were the last ones to get in but my son was still able to sit in the front. The parents can sit with their kids but they have to sit in the back of the perimeter they had set up in order to not block the view of other kids. The performer is a Guinness world record holder who performs all over the world. We had such a great experience that we got a one year membership which was 60 dollars for my son and one adult.
