The science museum itself is fine - lots of stuff for kids to do, but really not for adults. However, the submarine is fantastic! Highly recommended. Just be aware that everyone needs to be able to… Full review by jeggl

It was just okay honestly. It was PACKED when we were there and it took 20 minutes just to find a parking spot. It was difficult to experience the exhibits because it was a literal zoo of people ther… Full review by mlcdpt

It depend on whether they will have fun with low-level interactive activities that seemed designed largely for younger kids. I would say this is a great museum for middle-schooners, but starts to fall away in engaging high schooners, at least those really interested in science and accustomed to higher level lab classes in school. Still, if you pick and choose among what's there, you will find plenty of interesting bits to keep them interested for an hour or two. Films are good.
Q:
How much does it cost please?
A:
Not cheap! Cost depends on which of many options (movies, submarine, special exhibits,...) you choose.

Q:
We are driving from Canada to San Diego and I want to stop here with the kids. We will be in an RV, looking at google maps, there is absolutely no space to park an RV and I can't find any answers on the web. Does anyone know if there is RV parking or if taking up multiple spaces (5) is an issue? We would be going on a Sunday in the fall
