California Science Center, Los Angeles

I went to the Science Center while visiting with family in Los Angeles. My primary focus was the King Tut exhibit, which was truly remarkable. Very well executed displays with excellent viewing space and clear explanation of the artifacts. Kudos to the teams at the Egyptian Museum and the Science Center for the outstanding collaboration on this one of a kind exhibit. I must also say that I spent a hour or so exploring some of the other exhibits at the center, and found them wonderfully interactive, well organized, and very user friendly. I particularly enjoyed the exhibits of the various climate environments around the world! It was fun trying to pick up food like a bird, watch a flash flood in the desert, guess why certain animals evolved the way they did, and even see LA as an environment unto itself. A special bonus was the student created artwork at the exit point of this exhibit that followed groups of elementary and middle school children in LA, Colombia, and 2 Native populations through a study of Rain Forest habitats. Kudos for the focus on the kids!

Just went to their special King Tut exhibition and also saw the Endeavor exhibit. Words are hard to find to describe the fantastic King Tut exhibit. It was breathtaking. Well worth the trip from Phoenix. The Endeavor exhibit was interesting and enjoyable and well done. This was my first time visiting the museum and I was impressed with everything I saw. There were plenty of staff in all areas and they were friendly and helpful. The food court was another plus.
