Imaginations twist and fly through more than 100 hands-on exhibits at Discovery Cube OC (previously Discovery Science Center). Take the Eco Challenge and become a green superhero, feel the power of a real rocket engine "launch" and explore the inner workings of a two-story tall dinosaur! Traveling exhibits and annual events such as Spooky Science and Science of Gingerbread throughout the year ensure that there is always something new to discover.

We went for the Bubble Fest, and stayed to check out the rest of the cube. I thought it was a GREAT place for kids to learn about science stuff. They have very hands on exhibit's for the kids, so they really get in to it. I would recommend this place to anyone with kids, fun for adults too.

They are only open the first Saturday of every other month (Feb, April, etc). It's terrific. The people from the Historical Society dress up in period costumes, the tour is great, and they even give you tea and cookies on 100+ year old china. One of the best museum experiences ever.
