One of the few free major science museums. Permanent exhibits include the Space Shuttle Endeavour (one of three retired orbiters on public view), an ecosystems wing with a kelp forest tank, and a hands-on World of Life gallery. Read the full review →

The full review
Free admission was the founding policy and remains so. The Endeavour is the headline — the orbiter is being prepared for vertical display in the new Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center, expected to open with the shuttle mounted on real boosters as if ready for launch (a unique configuration).
IMAX is a paid add-on and worth it for the space documentaries.
