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.

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.

One of the best science museums of the nation. Home of the retired Space Shuttle Endeavour for about 10 years, and there will be a permanent house in 2025. I like to watch documentary films at the original Imax Theater. The hands-on exhibits allow visitors to learn about various ecosystems, biology, automobile, earthquake and fires. The best is about no admission fee for all. The original Frank Gehry designed air and space museum was closed but we can't wait for the new one to be built, and that air gallery that will house 20 plus airplanes, and a space gallery.
A great place for kids and those interested in science! All of the exhibits are interesting and many are interactive! And being able to see a space shuttle and an aquarium in one trip is something you can’t do anywhere else! Would definitely recommend to anyone in the area that has any interest in science!
This is a rare FREE medium size science center with many impressive display sets along with live animals for educational purposes. Adults and kids will all find something that they are interested in. It surely is a better alternative than letting kids playing videogames at home. Parking is $15.
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.
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.
