  Visited from Idaho, I am a huge Steinbeck fan and was so excited to see the exhibits, and it didn't disappoint. Even my 3 and 6 year old kids had a great time. My husband and I had a blast pouring over the used book section in the bookshop. The lady at the kiosk was incredibly friendly and informative, I'm so sorry I don't remember her name, but she was wonderful. This is a wonderful center and a must see for any Steinbeck fan.

  Have wanted to go for a long time. I enjoyed the little film on Steinbeck's life and reading so many of his quotes and passages. Loved seeing the truck and trailer from Travels with Charley. Forced my daughter and her friend along. Although they insisted they were bored in the movie, they loved all the interactive features and I had a hard time getting them out in the end.
