California Science Center
Museums / Galleries, Exposition Park
Fodor's Review:
Clusters of interactive exhibits illustrate the relevance of science to everyday life, from bacteria to airplanes. Tess, the 50-foot animatronic star of the exhibit "Body Works," dramatically demonstrates how the body's organs work together to maintain balance. Other kid-friendly, hands-on exhibits challenge you to construct earthquake-resistant structures and match actual brains with their animal owners. A cavernous Air and Space Gallery includes the Gemini 11 space capsule that gave us our first view of Earth as a sphere. The latest addition: the Apollo Soyuz command module and the story behind the first joint space project between the United States and the Soviet Union. An IMAX theater shows large-format releases.
