Unlike many other museums, the Science Center encourages guests to touch just about everything--which means lots of bells and whistles going off. Busloads of kids scamper about the galleries throughout the morning and early afternoon, guided along to the massive space's various exhibits on topics ranging from cells to cars. Later in the day, families, curious students from nearby USC and adventurous tourists press their faces against the glass of the "World of Life" exhibit or explore real aerospace artifacts at the "Air and Space" exhibits.The on-site Imax theater always draws crowds, with…
Editor's Tips
- When to Go:
- Arrive on weekends or weekday afternoons after 1:30pm. Before that, it's usually swarming with school groups.
- The Extras:
- Plan a weekend visit to take in any of the free presentations on a range of scientific topics. They repeat throughout the afternoon so you can see them all.
- Save Money:
- Admission is always free to all the permanent gallery exhibitions. Special exhibits have various admission prices. Check ahead for details.
- Know Before You Go:
- For advance ticket sales or to make a group reservation, call 213-744-2019. All groups of 15 people or more need a reservation and will receive a discounted rate.

Wind machine
by poptartsgurl
This is a great place to bring curious kids. We enjoyed the wind machine and the echo chairs. The kids loved being able to touch and play.

Cute chicks
by JSchwartz_Citysearch
It's free, it's fun and it seems that every kid on the SoCal area visits the Cal Science Center on the weekends. By mid-day the exhibits and interactive displays are virtually mobbed. So go early and enjoy. And don't miss the baby chicks, no kid--or parent--can resist those fuzzy little wobblers.
- Pros: free, discovery center
- Cons: crowded on weekends
