This is a small venue with changing exhibits. There is a combination of sights and sounds. Parkng is easy and the gift shop is very nice.
Love Friday nights Off the Grid!! Wonderful music, Zumba lessons, arts and crafts for kids, and yummy food trucks!
A great museum for following California History, both social and geologic, includes diaorama type presentations, and many photos from the f64 club and others documenting California in the 30's and 40's.
Great History exhibit and outstanding Art exhibits. Chinese Festival was amazing--had to pull my 7 year old grandson away after 5 hours; New science exhibit opening soon
