Discovery Science Center - Santa Ana

I remember visiting this place when I was younger and having a blast. I drive by often, and the dinosaur outside always catches my eye. My niece is a LOVER of all things dinosaurs and enjoys science all around. So, come her spring break this year (March), I decided to bring her along. She (really, we) had a wonderful time. All of the interactive displays were working and had a description to learn how it all works. She 's under 10 and I think that 's probably the best ages to attend, as it may be a bit boring for older kiddos. The food is alright, but I suggest going through the exhibits and getting a bite outside instead. Also, it 's more of a 1x trip. I think they interchange smaller exhibits, such as the bubble fest they were setting up, but I 'm not sure if it 'd really be worth going again.

First time visit with my family and we all enjoyed the experience. My 3 and 4 year old daughters loved exploring and the overall experience. We spent about 2 hours and it was the perfect amount of time. We arrived about 2:30 on a Saturday and it was not crowded. A few minutes to wait for helicopter tour and laser. I’d recommend families to go if they haven’t already.

We had an absolute blast! The laser/bubble show with Melanie Chang was out of sight! We will definitely go again. I highly recommend!

BubbleFest at Discovery Cube Orange county, small outdoor activities with wait times between 10-15 minutes on a weekday for each activity. The indoor bubble and laser show is great, arrive early at the auditorium doors upstairs to get good seat if get the general admission tickets online or onsite. Great show nonetheless kids had a blast.

Excellent location for interactive science activities. This is not a museum. We enjoyed the grocery store the most. Amazing level of detail in it's construction. The children learned a lot about nutrition and comparative shopping.
