Reviewers say weekdays are far quieter than weekends. There is water play in a shallow river, so pack swim things and a change of clothes. It is pitched mainly at elementary ages, with a physics area that holds older kids. A cafe on site and air-conditioned rooms to cool off in.
A hands-on museum on a 3.5-acre campus next to the Rose Bowl, with more than 40 exhibits spanning climbing towers, the science-themed Galvin Physics Forest, and outdoor nature areas. The big summertime draw is Arroyo Adventure, a multi-level running-water feature where kids splash and build dams — pack a swimsuit.

We absolutely love this place! My kids and I spend the entire day here every time we visit. We paid just $51 for tickets for the three of us, and it was totally worth it. There are so many fun activities for kids of all ages, plus air-conditioned areas to cool off and place to grab coffee or a meal. We especially enjoy coming on weekdays because it’s much less crowded than on weekends. Highly recommend for a fun family day out!
