One of the best views of the entire East Bay. Went for Spring break and enjoyed our time there. Be prepared it was hot in the middle of the day and no AC. Also, they charge additional fees for planetarium shows which most museums include with entrance.
The Lawrence Hall of Science This is such a hidden gem up in the Berkeley Hills. I've came here since elementary school so it's never a dull moment. The Dinosaur exhibit was really cool and I love how it's in one area. The additional restroom outside was really clean and convenient. We came here in Monday, November 10th, 2025. The café at the cafeteria was close so make sure to pack some lunch or snacks. There was 2 microwaves there and some Lysol wipes for the tables. The animal rooms are separated in 2 rooms. I always come here to see the hamsters, chinchillas and bunnies. The last time I was here, they had a gaming room which is replaced now for the music room. I would come back again and make more paper airplanes. 😂✈️
Top of my list for a day out with my young explorers. Highly recommend buying tickets to the T Rex 3D movie or other movie upon entering as those tickets are preferred times sell out. I highly recommend the new cafe and gift shop too. Great posters, science toys, and shirts in the gift shop (member discount) and delicious snacks at the new Ohlone café restaurant.
My kids ages 3 and 5 loved this place. We stayed for 5 hours and I had to drag them out because they wanted to stay. Lots of hands on science and building activities for kids to explore plus an outdoor play/picnic area, robotic dinosaurs, climbing structure, puppet theater, music area, and more. Go on a sunny day with a picnic lunch so you can sit outside and enjoy the view.
This is a wonderful place for the elder, the middle-aged, and youth. A place to discover, to engage and to gain great perspectives. Frequent visits with grand-daughter.
The kids loved all the interactive activities and the drive up is spectacular. We had a lot of fun and would recommend this to anyone that has time with the kids and want a fun activity that doesn't feel like learning.
A fascinating place for science lovers of all ages! I visited on a weekday — there was no wait at all, which made the experience even better. The museum offers hands-on exhibits that are both fun and educational, especially great for kids. Although it was foggy when I visited, the view from the hilltop location is usually stunning and overlooks the Bay. Parking was easy, and staff were friendly and helpful. I’d recommend making a reservation in advance, especially during holidays or weekends. Great stop for families or anyone curious about science and discovery!
This place has grown so much in the past few year. There are so many new exhibits and the animal area is completely remodeled. We love this museum and all the kids from 15-6 can find things to explore. This is definitely a must do when near Berkeley. We will be back soon!
