Lawrence Hall of Science

"It's an okay place. I visited here with student card so I do not need to pay, but if you are not a student or not affiliated with UC Berkeley, you need to pay 20 USD. This place offers some science games that maybe enjoyable for your kids. This place also has large courtyard with whale statue, you can see Bay Area or Golden Gate from this place. On weekdays, you can go to this place with bus or the UC Berkelet shuttle bus. However in the weekend, you need to use your own car or just uber to go there."

"The building is little old but there are a lot of science activities for kids. Usually there are great view over the city, but the day we went a little foggy. A great place to spending a day with kids. Parking is on the site."

The layout of the museum is well-designed, with clear signage and easy-to-navigate exhibits. One of the highlights of my visit was the plethora of hands-on exhibits. From the immersive planetarium experience to the interactive physics and biology exhibits, there was something for everyone. I particularly enjoyed the outdoor exhibits that allowed me to explore the wonders of nature firsthand. The interactive displays brought complex scientific concepts to life and engaged me in a way that textbooks or lectures never could. The Laurence Hall of Science also offers a variety of educational programs and workshops for students of all ages. These programs foster a love for learning and inspire curiosity in young minds. It was heartwarming to see children immersed in the joy of discovery, guided by the passionate educators who nurtured their scientific growth. The museum's breathtaking views of the Bay Area are an added bonus. The elevated location allows visitors to appreciate the beauty of the surrounding landscape while engaging with the exhibits. It truly feels like an escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. In terms of amenities, the museum boasts clean and well-maintained facilities. The onsite café offers a variety of refreshments, ensuring that visitors can refuel during their exploration. Additionally, the gift shop offers an array of science-related merchandise, providing a great opportunity to bring a piece of the Laurence Hall of Science home. Overall, my experience at the Laurence Hall of Science was nothing short of magnificent. It is an excellent destination for families, students, and anyone with an interest in science.

"YOU HAVE TO COME HERE for the night view of Bay Bridge and surrounding areas, spectacular!!! Especially appreciate the lighting of the fountain, which is perfectly echoing the HALO of sunset, what a nice combination. Meanwhile, the rounded shape of the science hall is also a good fit to the entire scene."

"Great value of money. One star down for no cafe. There is a cafe space but closed. Water fountains are there to refill bottles. No lines. Very spacious. Lots of activities for kids under 10. A new section to make your own music instrument. A little bit hard with stroller for outdoor bird and insect section. Very beautiful view of UC Berkeley from outdoor of A floor."
