Very interesting museum with free admission. Unfortunately, some items need maintenance but it is absolutely worth it. Being able to see the space shuttle Endeavor live is a truly fascinating experience.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNoPrice for adult entryFree
Neat facility that has plenty to offer to adults and kids! Admission is free but I’d recommend finding a nearby neighborhood street and park there. I can’t justify paying $15 for parking to go to a free museum. Overall, the facility offered unique displays, artifacts, and various zones/sections. Whether you’re an avid space enthusiast, biologist, or nature lover, there’s no shortage of things to see and do that will keep you here for hours!
Need something to do with your kids but don't want to break the bank? Do you want or want your kids to learn new things? Need to get out of the heat but tired of the mall? This is the spot! Price: Free. However, you do have to pay if you want to see any IMAX movies and for the special exhibit. Endeavor and others are free! Parking: At this current time, parking is $15 and is an underground parking structure. Even being there early, we parked one level lower due to the heat. Best choice. Water: The biggest thing we couldn't find anywhere on the website was water bottles. Well, my friends, no need to look farther. You can bring water bottles in, and they even have filling stations near all the restrooms. Food: They have food you can purchase. We didn't eat there because we were out within 3 hours. It looks as though you can bring food but not in the exhibit area, only in the cafeteria area. Crowds: We went at opening on a weekday, so it wasn't busy.
Very interesting things to learn. The museum needs a few updates but still worth the time. I wish I would have had more time there to see The Maya exhibit which is only available through a ticket purchase. I suggest getting there before opening as it does tend to get crowded about two hours after opening.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYesPrice for adult entryFree
Absolutely must to go place with young kids. A lot to learn and witness historic endeavour space shuttle - stationed here after retirement. You can visit all type of actually used space capsule with the astronauts details. Very cool. Aquatic section is also fun and don’t miss flash flood demonstrations.Visited onWeekend
My kids had a lot of fun here. We enjoyed all the exhibits and the featured Maya exhibit. The space shuttle endeavor is always cool to see. If you are look for a cheap thing to do with your kids this is a good option.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNoPrice for adult entry$21–30
Cool place. We went to see the Shuttle Endeavor. Incredible!!!! It is free!!! They have other free exhibits. From oceans to space. Pretty Incredible. Next to USC and the LA Coliseum. Parking is $15.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYesPrice for adult entryFree
We had so much fun visiting the Science Center! We all enjoyed the planes and the space crafts. The admission was free, but you could pay for the special exhibits, IMAX theater, and simulator. There was a food court where we picked up some grab and go sandwiches. Later, we came back and got ice cream and coffee from the other shop. Beautiful gift store inside, too.
Had a wonderful time! The Mayan exhibit was phenomenal and breathtaking. Very informative and interactive. It's unfortunate that that was about the only thing we had time to see, because we got there so late and the place closes at 5 ‍ Nonetheless, it was a great place to visit.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYesPrice for adult entry$16–20
So many amazing things to see here! We went several years ago to see the King Tut exhibit, which was incredible, and the space shuttle, Endeavor - so cool! This time we saw the Maya exhibit, which is fascinating! We also went to the museum next door that has an impressive collection of dinosaurs. And we strolled through the beautiful gardens. Highly recommend and look forward to visiting again!
