I took my two grandchildren (6 and 9) and one of their friends (6) to LHS. The LHS is mainly for children and they love it there. They have hands on activities, but the science of what they are doing is not explained, although I am not sure if this happens when a school group attends. Most of the volunteers lacked enthusiasm and seemed quite bored with their jobs. The main reason I am writing this review is about the Grizzly Peak Cafe, in the lower level of LHS. We had lunch there and even though there were only two family's ahead of us, it took almost an hour to get our food. They were out of chicken, which you didn't know until you placed your order. So then the kids had to rethink what they wanted. There were many "cooks" so I can't imagine what took so long. Nobody wore gloves and food was passed from one "cook" to another. There was a big bin of fruit in a cooler and one of the workers used her bare hands, along with a large scoop, to put the fruit into a smaller container on the counter. We didn't bring anything to eat and were not ready to leave, so there was no other option than to eat there. I highly recommend that people bring their own food. I definitely will the next time I go. The view from the outside terrace, as well as from the cafe, are breath taking. I would recommend going there just for the view. And as I said previously, the kids love it there.

We always wind up taking our grandchildren. It's interactiveand allows them to run around in a controlled space

Tourists, locals: YOU WILL LOVE THIS PLACEFantastic place to get some fast, fun science on San Francisco Bay Area geology. Earthquakes, faults, tectonic plates: you'll know how they work and how they RULE the Bay Area after you visit to this fun science center. There's a simple hands-on model showing how the Hayward and San Andres faults cause mountains and valleys. One minute with this exhibit and all of your questions are answered. There's a scale-down model showing how water flows from the mountains to the bay where you can baffle off canals and create dams to see the effects. Ever wonder what it would look like if a damn suddenly gave way? This exhibit will show you.From the outside deck you get a priceless view of the San Francisco Bay. Best of all, you can see the earthquake fault trace through the city while reading exhibits describing the details. After you leave The Lawrence Hall of Science go straight to the University of California at Berkeley football stadium and straddle the Hayward Fault. After you visit the science center you'll know what I mean. This science center is fantastic for kids and adults. There's even an area for little kids to play and learn. At the lower level you'll find an animal room where you can handle a snake and see some furry woodland creatures.The cafeteria has a GREAT view but is very dated. I didn't eat, but the food looked okay. There were healthy choices. Only complaint, and reason for a 4-star rating versus a 5: No wifi. You'll have trouble getting a good cell phone signal and if you want to do so quick internet research you're out of luck. I thought I'd end my visit with a quick lunch and some web surfing, but that's not going to happen.

Good exhibits, a smaller science center but worth visiting if interested in sci. Centers. View of area is amazing!

We're LHS members, but Design Quest just drives home that membership is money well spent. My daughter has spent DAYS at this exhibit on the stop-motion animation station. Loves it-- I love that it's encouraging creativity. There's lots to do here, from the Animal exploration rooms (weekends only, I think) to the Kiva blocks, to the wonderful movies they show (they rotate every 4 months or so). Bonus: the gift shop is a treasure trove of really smart toys and quirky gifts for kids. Check it out-- membership pays for itself in about two visits! Worth every cent, especially for rainy days.

My husband and I purchased Family Yearly Passes the night before we visited with our 3 year old granddaughter. We took her dad here when he was a little older than she is and he loved it back then also. We will be going back again soon. We wanted to see the summer theme "Extreme Bugs" and we are happy we did. We paid the extra $4.00 a person to see the Planetarium show of "Our Changing Moons." This was great since she is so interested in the moon right now. The show was 20 minutes long, just long enough for her short attention span. She started having fun even before we entered the building climbing on the DNA and life-sized whale.

Lawrence Hall of Science is a local treasure and rainy-day mainstay for East Bay families. The exhibits are carefully thought out to be both fun and pedagogic. And new exhibits are deployed regularly, so repeat visits are fun.The cafe has decent child-friendly foods at reasonable prices and with a killer view over San Francisco Bay.There is often a special section for toddlers, although this sometimes gets moved around. I find it perfect for crawling babies and toddlers who are just beginning to walk, There are also age-relevant exhibits for older kids too, as well as an outdoor play area with geological exhibits and flowing water play areas. Just don't count on staying dry there.

Overpriced McMuseum, with a great outside & views. Predictable traveling exhibits, betting area in basement, crappy cafeteria. Would have been cool on the 70's. No competition to the Exploratorium.

In the Berkeley Hills is the Lawrence Hall of Science which offers hours and hours of fun explorations and exhibits. It's entirely kid friendly. Spend an afternoon there and you'll agree.

We love the exhibits - Earth and Space; Design and Build; and Brain Teasers. Great place for all ages and inquiring minds.
