So, You Wanna Be a California Science Center Superstar? But How Much Will It Cost?
Let's face it, the California Science Center is basically Disneyland for curious grown-ups (and okay, maybe some super into dinosaur kids too). But before you dust off your lab coat and pocket protector (is that even a thing anymore?), you might be wondering: how much is this science extravaganza gonna set me back?
Fear not, intrepid explorer! The good news is, the core exhibits at the California Science Center are completely free to enter. That's right, free! Free like falling feathers (assuming you're not in a wind tunnel, of course). So you can wander through space shuttle exhibits (well, maybe not literally wander through them, safety first!), marvel at gigantic dinosaur skeletons, and basically channel your inner Bill Nye the Science Guy without spending a dime. Score!
QuickTip: Don’t ignore the small print.
Hold on to your beakers, though, because there's a BUT... (there's always a but, isn't there?). If you're looking to blast off to a whole new level of science-y fun, then there are some ticketed experiences available. We're talking:
Tip: Review key points when done.
-
IMAX Theater: Ever wanted to feel like you're hurtling through the cosmos on the back of a comet? The California Science Center IMAX will do just that (minus the whole potential of being vaporized by space dust thing). Tickets are surprisingly affordable, ranging from $6.59 to $8.99.
-
Special Exhibits: These things are like the temporary rockstars of the science center world. Think dinosaurs that look so real you might want to offer them a snack, or mummies that could tell some seriously epic stories (if only they weren't, you know, mummies). Prices vary depending on the exhibit, but they're usually in the $7.79 to $8.79 range.
Basically, a trip to the California Science Center can be a totally free exploration of fascinating science, or you can add some IMAX thrills and special exhibit adventures for a very reasonable price.
Tip: Summarize each section in your own words.
The real question is, are you ready to unleash your inner science nerd? (Don't worry, there's no judgment here. We all have a little nerd in us.)
QuickTip: Don’t rush through examples.
