About
The California Science Center is an interactive science museum in Los Angeles, set within Exposition Park at 700 Exposition Park Dr. It is built around hands-on exhibits that invite visitors to test, touch and explore, with a focus on science, technology, engineering and mathematics education. It is also known as CalSci.
What to expect
The museum suits families, students and anyone curious about how things work. Much of the experience is active rather than passive: exhibits are designed to be used, so visitors can experiment for themselves rather than only read about a principle.
- Interactive, hands-on exhibits across science and technology themes
- An IMAX theater for films on the big screen
- The Space Shuttle Endeavour, a major draw for many visitors
The area around it
The museum sits in Exposition Park, a large public green space in the south of Los Angeles. Because the park holds several other institutions, a visit can easily be combined with time outdoors or with a trip to a neighbouring museum. Plan for a full day if you want to see the exhibits at a relaxed pace and catch a film.
