That giant cube by the freeway is it: in Dino Quest kids carry scanners through a dinosaur jungle hunting fossils, in the Science of Hockey they really shoot and tend goal, and there is an earthquake room, a rocket lab and a toddler area that even a 2-year-old can play in.

💡 Tips
Admission is about $20–25 per person, free under 3, a bit cheaper online; get in at the 10am weekend opening, as afternoons are crowded. Santa Ana Zoo is 10 minutes away for a full day.
