My group got to tour the CAMS while it was closed for repairs. We got to see the beamline up close and personal (and even Congressman Eric Swalwell). It's awe inspiring to think about all the atom splitting research that goes on there. Scientists from all over the world, if chosen, do research at this facility. The best part though is that some machinery is held together by foil, yes, FOIL.

ALS is a must see if you like science and technology. I was so impressed that I decided to make LBNL my first choice of where I worked after graduation. The facility is way up the hill and the views up here are fantastic.

We went here on a Monday evening to watch the sunset over the Bay. There were several other people there also. We didn't visit the buildings. Very small parking lot which had broken glass in several areas. Beautiful drive to get there. No restroom near parking. There were some clouds which we had hoped would give us a beautiful sunset, but didn't. I was disappointed somewhat because of the smog which wasn't as prevalent when I lived in the area 20 years ago. It is still a beautiful view of the Bay, Oakland, Berkeley and San Francisco.

Fantastically exciting place. I come to do research here. Not really a tourist destination, but if you have a way to be shown around the Advanced Light Source, you got to take advantage of that. It's the best facility in the world, not just for its location, but its energy and output.

A great place to do science while being on top of a mountain and watching the picturesque Bay area. Such a beautiful place, that no words can describe the scenic panorama we get to see! Absolutely loved being there!!!

This is where all the science gets done. There's a bit of a wait to get in (must complete your PhD first) and the decor is a bit bland (cubes) but after your seated, the view is fantastic and people are very nice.

This place is good for kids and adults. You learn many fun sciency things there, and there is a good nature walk and a view of the Bay. Play with shapes to learn about geometry and cognition. The gift shop is equally entertaining.

Tour this if you can. Tom and Adam were wonderful hosts. Bad ass scissors. There was quite an assortment of machine tools. The tools were varied in age, size, and function It was hard to fathom the complexity of the different magnet assemblies. My reviews for Google tend to be short so I am just adding words to this one. But in truth the lab tour was incredibly interesting.
