Pacific Science Center is pleased to announce we will soon reopen for the general public. Laser Dome and IMAX® theaters are now open with showtimes Thursday through Sunday. In July, several experiences will reopen on campus, including the Tropical Butterfly House, Planetarium, Tinker Tank makerspace, Live Science Stage, and Dinosaurs. Other areas of our facility are not open to the public for general admission as we plan a renewal. However, we are continuing to find innovative ways to serve the community.

Good morning! I would allow for a minimum of 4 hours to do this. There is so much to see, lots of reading and interaction. You want to take your time to see this place. If the your children are big into the science then this is the place to go and it will end up being longer but they are having a blast. Have a great time! Cary L.
