Staying at Manhattan Beach hotels' Sea View Inn, you are centrally located to take in all the best attractions of the LA area. Nestled in Los Angeles is a fun destination where all ages can explore the wonders of science through fun exhibits.
We're talking about the California Science Center, and it is the largest venue of its type on the West Coast. It's open 362 days a year, and admission to the permanent galleries is free.
Spread out over 400,000 square feet are four major exhibit areas, and highlights include:
Ecosystems
The Ecosystem exhibit is where visitors discover amazing environments and learn how the physical and living worlds affect and at times define each other. There are eight zones to explore, one of which is the Forest zone. This fascinating area features a living, growing kelp forest, and allows visitors to walk through a 188,000-gallon tank where they'll feel as though they're walking along the ocean floor.
Space Shuttle Endeavor
All of the space program's orbiters were built in California, and the Endeavor was constructed in Downey and Palmdale. In addition to the shuttle, this exhibit includes its galley, tires, nose cone, and waste collection system.
Creative World
Creative World provides plenty of fun as visitors can explore the benefits of invention and innovation. Activities include building structures to see if they would withstand an earthquake, playing computer games to learn how to save energy at home, and racing in a solar car competition.
