    If you are looking for some hands on family fun, the Discovery Science Center is the place to visit this summer! Check out their selection of educational events throughout the year!

    Eat before you go, trust me. Extremely crowded in the morning due to bus loads of school kids on field trips. I found the Eco grocery market offensive , their virtual employees display hatred.

    Love this place definitely check it out. They are santa ana residents free admission days. Food inside is expensive so eat before going.

    Great place for young kids to play and explore. Much to do but wear a mask unless you want covid.

    The dino quest is a waste and the exhibit isn't user friendly; don't buy. Especially for younger kids. If you live in the area, get a season pass here (can even double with a friend for family pass).

    A great place to visit. I liked the fact that they had people there to help and answer questions...maybe the reason for the high price ticket. But, definitely a place to visit with the kiddos!

    When the busloads of school kids come they can take over the place. Luckily the center has 2 floors. Just stay opposite of where the field trip kids are. Outside can be good to avoid crowds too.

    If your a teacher, sign up for the TEAMS workshops. Great science activities with a literature book. Plus $80 worth of supplies and dinner!

    Everything (museum & bubble event) was fine but nothing was great. Nothing there felt like it was complete. I wanted something like the Exploratorium in SF, but it wasn't even close. 3 out of 5 stars

    Kind of mediocre compared to a top notch children's museum like exploratorium. What's with the hot wheels advertisement pretending to be education?

    Do NOT go on the first Tuesday of the month when locals get in free... it's complete mayhem! Also, the customer service is severely lacking.
