LIGO - Livingston, LA Review

Science center looked good but not open. I just wanted to see the setup of the gravity wave detector, from afar, and no one chased me from parking lot.

LIGO is one of the best thing happened to me. Amazing cience, great people.

You like science? You like astronomy? You like physics? You like having your mind BLOWN? Do yourself a favor and make a stop here on Science Saturdays and be prepared for a treat that you never knew existed. Bleeding-edge research into unlocking both incredibly HUGE and mind boggling tiny mysteries of the universe is being performed at this backwoods observatory. Black holes! Gravity Waves! Lasers! This is on par with visiting NASA, and they have lots of fun stuff for both kids and adults, science geeks and regular but inquisitive folks alike.

Great place for kids to learn and explore. Only open the third Saturday of the month.

Observed the gravity waves sung by Einstein for the first time in the world. Another place is hanford. This is in the forest, the other is a wasteland with no vegetation, but there are two buildings and the road crosses the pipeline.

Hell Yeah!!! Way to Go LIGO! LIGO-a-GoGo!!!

Honestly, we took the kids to a science day there and it was a GREAT experience. And now, they've done it! Congratulations!

The science Saturdays are awesome, you get a tour of the facility from actual physicists that work there, they can answer any question you might have! Every science Saturday has a theme. There is also a bunch of interactive exhibits, very interesting, great for kids and grown-ups alike! We spent around 2 hours there, but you could probably make it last for the whole afternoon, or just go for the 30-40 minutes guided tours that start every 30 minutes or so. Perfect place to spark interest in science, or if you're already into it!

We had a really good experience there. We learned a lot with extremely good professional scientists.

Congratulation on the discovery of gravitational waves!! :D

World class Nobel Prize winning physics gravitational wave observatory. (It is not the kind that looks at stars.) The Science Education Center has hands on exhibits. It is fun for kids even if they do not understand the science behind each exhibit. Open free the 3rd Saturday of each month.

It was awesome i liked it it was the best field trip of my life

Kids got to do activities. Was free to go. Great place for a family to spend time. They have a place to have a picnic lunch.

Science Saturday was awesome!! Great for kids and adults alike. The tour was probably more so fun for adults and older kids.

Great facilities and I would just love to be able to go fishing in this place one day! I am a dreamer!

Very friendly staff and engaging! Kids and parents enjoyed the time there!

Has a great science education center and tours for people wanting to learn more about science

We have traveled here for field trips 2 years in a row. Our students love it!! The leaders are wonderful and work great with the kids. There are many hands on exhibits that really help the students to understand the concepts that observatory studies.

LIGO is absolutely amazing! Just went with a 5th grade class, and had a great time! The tour guides are fantastic, leading the kids in engaging, hands on activities! Wonderful experience.

I like this luie because it guides me on the shortcut

Great place for kids and science enthusiasts! Will definitely go back!

Absolutely fascinating facility. Well worth your time.

Absolutely the best learning experience one can have. This place is filled with cutting edge technology that will blow your mind and help any adult or child to open there to possibilities. The staff is amazing. Check out the labs while your there and enjoy the rill time experiments in the full custom areas.

This place is a lie and everything that is open to public is to make people feel like their getting to see what they actually do at this very secluded facility that i happen to live right next to. If you lived here or do then maybe one would notice the part of the sky that most nights are inexplicably flashing a mysterious what looks like to be orange color. It also only happens right above this facility very late at night. Now considering there is no visible source from where this artificial light source is comin from and it being exceptionally late when it goes on, it leaves one to wonder who is working there that late and what causes this light flashing in the sky from this facility.

Loved it. If your into science, they have a great education center

Congratulations for detection of gravitational waves

Absolutely fascinating hidden scientific jewel of the New Orleans area. This was one of the two labs that jointly detected the first gravitational waves. Tour of the facility and of the science lab accessible on Science Saturdays is a great one!

An amazing opportunity to see where where real science occurs. They also have an educational Science Center that is open Saturdays from 1 to 5. There are over 50 Interactive exhibits herr for the kids to interact with.
Unlike many other places this one is free and offers something for those young and young at heart. Both our 8 and 11 year old boys had a blast.

Super cool!!!! What an interesting field of research to be apart of. The tour was fun!

I went to LIGO for a teacher training last week for the third time. The facilities are great, and the education center is full of amazing exploratorium-esque activities. The teachers there are very knowledgeable and engaging. Highly recommend it for training or a class visit (but they book up about 6 months in advance, so plan ahead!).

Science Saturday is the third Saturday of every month and they open the facility to the public. It's a lot of fun.

Hello to everybody... I like very much of Science and Physical Sciences..... I would like create a community of astronomy and etc.... somebody would like?

Gravitational waves, congratulations on the observation

Awesome place for anyone interested in outer space.

Fun and educational for the kids. Educational for adults. Great for tours and school field trips.

Can't wait to go back on a 3rd Saturday of the month to enjoy all the fun activities

World class facility for helping develop a love in science for all ages.

The exhibit hall is so cool for adults and children of all ages. Older kids will definitely get more out of it, but even little kids would have a lot of fun manipulating all of the exhibits. Also excellent for field trips. Brought my high school seniors there and they had a great time!

Scientists Award. On gravitational platforms. In good time Congratulations

Gravity waves! Congratulations from Sydney, Australia.

I brought my siblings to the Science Center here for Science Saturday and they loved it. The work they do here is amazing, and it's not huge but they ensure that everything that is there is very quality for visitors. That's not even to to mention the actual experiments they do here! If you look on the website, it seems like it's tailored for kids (and it partially is), but any science lover will have an experience to enjoy.

Visited here in a tour, and was not disappointed. The work that is being done here is amazing. The technology shown in the tour is astonishing. 10/10 would definitely recommend.

Congratulations to the staff of this facility on discovering gravity waves and making one of the most important scientific discoveries of this young century.

Great fun & learning for all.
Great people here working hard on expanding the borders of scientific knowledge & measurement sciences.

We loved it!!!! Made a great science Saturday with my family

It was really cool and very informative :) will definitely go back

Awesome exhibits for kids, so much to learn, scientists excel at discussing very technical information in a way anyone can understand!

A fabulous place in the beautiful Louisiana countryside that has great significance to modern physics an astronomy. Truly a great place to visit

This place was awesome. I went with my daughter's 8th grade class. The instructors were very interesting and motivating.

Thank you for proving right Prof. Albert Einstein AND congrats for the 2017 Physics Nobel Prize

It's fantastic that this place exists here. There were lots of folks at the 3rd Saturday science day. There are lots of hands on exhibits for the kids which demonstrate scientific principles while you wait for the next tour. The staff do a great job of explaining what the process is looking for and how the equipment identifies it and what the implications might be. The tour guide answers questions very patiently and thoroughly. Really a unique experience!

Congratulations for the outstanding results and for not giving up. Einstein is proud

An informative tour with a hands on science exhibit. Plenty of things for kids/unruly physicists to do!

Brilliant experience at the Science Education Center on Science Saturday (each 3rd Saturday of the month). Great exhibits in the center, with excellent talks from the staff and a chance to visit the control centre!

It was a neat tour, but the guide didn't dumb the information down enough for me to understand. I don't know what the LIGO center does aside from measure gravitational waves (I think?). There's an interactive area you can explore before/after the tour.

Congratulation on the discovery of gravitational waves!! :D

Awesome science and fun for kids! Congratulations on the gravitational wave detection!
