Pacific Science Center is pleased to announce we will soon reopen for the general public. Laser Dome and IMAX® theaters are now open with showtimes Thursday through Sunday. In July, several experiences will reopen on campus, including the Tropical Butterfly House, Planetarium, Tinker Tank makerspace, Live Science Stage, and Dinosaurs. Other areas of our facility are not open to the public for general admission as we plan a renewal. However, we are continuing to find innovative ways to serve the community.

It's a great day out and if you include the films ,it's definitely a full day. Also, with teenagers, the pop music museum is round the corner, where there are lots of mini-studios where you can play guitar, drums, keyboards etc. There is also an extensive food court nearby for lunch...and there's no tipping in these places. Use the Monorail to get there. I've been going to the US with children and now Grandchildren, for over 25 years;check out some of my other US adventures
