Suggestions for Science Museum near Oakland

Aaron P. • February 24, 2015First time visitor. Planetarium and laser show were very cool. Had sandwiches for lunch and they were surprisingly delicious despite their $10 price tag. On that note, the place was filthy...

Charlene N. • August 14, 2023Underrated museum that covers not only history, but art too. Gorgeous outdoor space not to be missed!

Brandon H. • April 2, 2010the hall is easily accessible by bus. the "hill" line leaves hearst mining circle on campus every half hour! it'll even take you back down the hill from the hall! perfect for students.

TerraTopia • June 23, 2011Great visitor's center surrounded by a 948 square nautical mile sanctuary onshore. For a quiet walk, go in the morning. Wind picks up in the afternoon. (Low tide is also nicest).

Karynn I. • September 25, 2015Cafe, exhibits, art, maker space. An eclectic but stimulating place for a date. Adventures abound!

Alysa • July 13, 2012So pretty! A must see :)

Frank Howard Allen • March 6, 2013Admission is free. Fascinating for young and old alike. Self-guided, but tours are available for groups with advanced reservations. Has been featured on MythBusters.

Kim C. • February 6, 2011Can get full, especially in the mornings. But it's worth the wait to enjoy the great indoor play space.

Johnny P. • January 19, 2010bring a sweater and a crescent wrench.

Ryan P. • April 1, 2017You can even see stars during the day

Elara B. • June 25, 2013You have to visit Claude every time you come, or he will become lonely.

Parker H. • April 29, 2012Inside the Long Now offices is a small museum. Check out its centerpiece, the orrery, a modern incarnation of the planetary models that rose popularity during the Renaissance and Enlightenment.

Sarah O. • June 18, 2019The water is actually pretty tasty :)
