If you have kids for sure stop here....gives a an amazing view of the skeleton structure of animals. After parking and walking the building. you will spend at least 30 minutes to a zillion minutes depending on your interest.

This is a science exploration place for young children. Many hands on opportunities and a chance to pick up unique gifts. On top of that it is located overlooking the bay, giving the best view I have seen and I picked right day!

For East Bay folks, this is a great complement to the Exploratorium. There's something for everybody. A lot of hands on stuff. And volunteers showing different stuff every week. And connected to hiking trails as well. Plus great views.

I had a blast! It's two floors full of artifacts and inventions of modern science's beginnings (navigation, map-making, telescopes, clocks, electricity +). There was a free app guide that I couldn't try out because my phone died, but there is also information in the rooms along with well-done videos explaining the history and how to use some of the inventions. There's a third interactive floor too!

Suitable for young people to do activities! We visited here on our trip from Los Angeles to SF. We were not disappointed! Here is a smaller university research center where joyous volunteers and students are eager to help us experience marine life! There's interactive "search and raffle" that delights our 5-year-old daughter, who finds all the answers, and our 2-year-old son busy trying to keep up with her, and there's magnifying glass hanging over jellyfish cans. The whale skeleton is huge, the view of Monterey Bay is amazing, be careful of the trails on the cliffs!
