A cool place for younger kids, and the gadgets are very interesting. But it does get repetitive, and the food looks... interesting I would say. But they do sometimes have special things (like bubble fest). The store is great too.

Wonderful place for kids and adults alike to learn and explore about science, the earth, technology, physics and more. The membership is worth it if you plan to visit more than once a year, which I recommend you do.

I used to come on school field trips years ago back in elementary in the 2000s. Im sure its just as amazing it was back then so much educational experience while having fun! Definitely bringing my little ones!

Had a great time at the Cube this weekend! We all enjoyed the DC Superheroes exhibit. The kids loved all the interactive stations especially the Gotham city puzzles to get the Bat-Signal to light up. It was a great experience. The rest of it was just as great but the main attraction was the DC area.

What a great day to go to Discovery Cube in Orange County. Disney the Lion Guard exhibit opened today and our children enjoyed the experience. They had many sensory activities that were perfect for our little ones to explore and enjoy. They had an area where little ones get to pretended to prepare food and it was fun seeing them work through it all. Children learn by exploring and touching objects and this was right on target and since our little ones are very hands on, they dove right into it. The animal show they had on display was a great bonus, they displayed a millipede, snake, Pancake Tortoise and an Owl. Discovery Cube in Orange County always exceeds our expectations.

This place is very educational for kids of all ages. My 7 year old had fun and learned about different things. It was just so packed with people that you had to wait in lines to do any of the different activities for hands on learning. It was worth it and my daughter had fun. If you have young children I definitely recommend this place for some educational fun.

DJ pumping out beats while you gawk at fish, expensive beers and cocktails, good times all around. Happy 21, Claude. Glad to have been a part of your birthday bash. For Nightlife, 3 floors are open, and they each have awesome exhibits, but get there early because things like the aquatic petting zoo close way before 10pm. You get to see coral reefs, big aquarium tanks, albino alligators, swamp land creatures, earthquake preparedness simulations and games, and giant alligator gar. For every floor (the planetarium is unfortunately closed until mid October), there are differently themed cocktails ($10 a pop). Its a super fun way to spend Saturday for only $15 admittance. Food and drink, however, will cost you. I feel bad for the sound-sensitive creatures though :/

Cool for the first time going. We live 2 hours away so we wont be getting memberships. But I do like that they give you the option. Lots to do inside. Superhero theme was very cool! Very educational fun!

Great museum for kids, a lot of hands-on games and activities. Even parents and adults will have fun. Parking is only $6. I will definitely recommend it. 5 stars.

Kids 10 & under will love it here. They change exhibits every few months so there is always something new. The best temporary exhibit was one over the summer, the DC superheroes! My girls loved it!! My daughter had the courage to go out in public (in a cast and crutches) at this exhibit and Im so happy she did because she felt so amazing after! Shes all better now and I really hope they bring this exhibit back because it is one of my faves. Also, The OC location has a wonderful dino exhibit perfect for all the little ones. Ill be back soon! Membership is worth it as 2 or 3 visits pays for itself. I would suggest having wheelchairs available for rent for those guests with temporary or permanent difficulties -I brought my stroller just in case she needed a break and she did!

Fun place to go with small children. Has a good food bar. Coffee is strong, but not the best. Beware, the veg tots are not potato tots. Everyone who works here is very nice and helpful. Lots of kids so you’ll need to be patient. Lots of fun experiments. Worth the money. Not too expensive.

Cant wait for this place to re-open, my kids grew up here and Id love to take them again.. its always fun

Been bringing the Family for the past 2 years and its a fun way to learn and play at the same time. Many hands on displays and rotating themes through out the year keep it fresh.

Looking for a great place to take the kids? Look no further! We spent about two hours here and probably could have spent more but it was nap time. Kids learn about flight, rockets, earth, dinosaurs, earthquakes and much more. They have a snack bar, food court and gift shop so be prepared to spend a little extra on the kids. $5 to park.

Grand daughter wanted to go for her Birthday today we all had a great time have to say it was a great choice by her plenty of interesting exhibitions thank you for a great day.

Very educated and fun place for kids and adult.so much fun for any ages. Has a gift shop and restaurant inside.

Pretty awesome place for the kids. Other than a few minor broken exhibits, there is so many great things to experience like a rock wall, a dinosaur themed outdoor area, earthquake simulator, virtual grocery store, and much more. Of course every activity has something to do with science, so be prepared for the kids to learn something new every visit. The staff is young, but knowledgeable and great with groups. I recommend this place for families with children 8 years or younger.

This place it at least a 3 day visit to get the full experience and appreciation of what it has to offer. My kids had a wonderful time going through all the setups. the scientific demos, the play areas, the video experience, and especially the mock shopping engagement at a general store. I would recommend getting the family membership and try out the other sites that offer their unique experience to the kids. It was well worth the visit and would recommend keeping an eye out for their special/seasonal offerings. A great educational investment for kids that is not limited by weather fluctuations.

Every child would love to play in this place for there are different colors painted on the wall and there are different toys displayed everywhere. They could choose also where to play especially if the kids have the desire to explore a new thing because as we all knew that they have different likes. There are also kids wanted to play the specific game they are good at. Mommies, bring your kids here!

Lots of things for the kids to do but should be like 5 and older to really enjoy everything. Theres really only one section for little kids

The best place to visit for the children to give them the first step towards the study of science through visualization. I don’t recommend adults to go this place to visit. The parking was just $5 and ticket for entrance was really cheap and even they have yearly membership passes offerings. From physics to various other aspects of science are shown here for the children. Even they have movies to show at different time and think ahead of time to see at particular show time. They have healthy food restaurants and very clean restrooms. I am giving one star less for not being appropriate place for the adults.

Awesome place to spend from an hour to a whole day. Bring your food or buy on the spot. A lot of experiments and models kids could get interested in. The best time is around noon work days. On busy days it is difficult to find parking.

Really cute. Has alot of activities in the exhibits. Very clean, everything seemed in tact. Fun for kids and adults!

This is a very good place to enjoy! Very healthy food and good pizza. the only disappointment was that we got our order wrong. more exhibits than the LA one.

We are spoiled since we live 10-minutes from a state-of-the-art childrens museum in Dallas, thus the three stars. This place is great for an afternoon, but not really a day trip destination. If I lived close by with little kids, be Im sure Id be there a lot. However for a fun, laid back afternoon, it was enjoyable. The Cube is a bit beat up, but there is a lot of variety for activities. It wasnt too crowded so my introvert son enjoyed it without getting overwhelmed or stressed out.

Kids loved it, we spent 4 hours here and they still didnt see everything.We got the annual pass, well be back with their cousins and God brother and sister very soon!!

Great place to visit if you have kids 1-12 years old. During winter holidays they have Gingerbread competition display with so many beautiful kids (and adults!) creations. Be prepared to spend at least 3 hours for your first visit on just 1 floor - there are theater, Lego stations, water section, earthquake and dino sections, cafe on the first floor and dont forget about second floor!It make sense to buy membership if you plan to visit museum.Theater tickets is $2-4 for 10-15 minute video (they have 3, we saw about hurricane).

This place is not only for kids to enjoy adults can also. The events are very educational fun and delightful every event is different and prices are totally worth it just to see how kids enjoy the events is priceless, on top of that you can get discounts for groups and the OC magazine has coupons, also look in the web theres discounts that are offered in certain days for some cities.

This place is amazing! My kids loved it here. We spent about 4 hours here and still didnt get to see everything. Its definitely a fun place for younger kids probably 12 and under. I would come back a million times as long as my kids still enjoy it.

We visited during the month of February when they offered a membership exchange with Santa Ana Zoo. My five children range in age from 5 to 17. They all had a great time exploring the exhibits. We visited 4 times during the month and still had lots to do and new things to discover. Definitely recommend the family membership!

They have a nice verity of exhibits. It was a little crowded witg summer camp kids the day we were there. The dinosaur exhibit was nice. Dont miss the helicopter flight over Orange county you get to see some parts of the country you never saw before.

I liked it, its an interesting place. I just thought it was pricy for the experience.

One of our favorite kids museums of entire southern California. A must visit family spot. Lots of cool stuff to discover and learn throughout the play. How magnets work, how rockets are launch, gravity for, etc. Also lets not forget, their food is pretty healthy and inventive. They also offer little once cooking classes to teach you how to make your own healthy snack. Highly recommended.

We love the Cube! On this visit we were there to see the Summer Dinos exhibit and the Rainforest Adventure exhibit. My kids loves both of them. Weekends can be busy, so weekday visits are ideal. They also have summer camps!

Took my daughter and grandson there for the first time, we all had a great time. Most definitely be back. I cherish the time I have with them.

This was a great place to visit, took about 3 hours to run through and see everything. Tons of interactive exhibits and almost everything worked. We all had a good time.From my 8 yr old.It has a lot of interesting things and some of them are awesome. My two favorite things were the pulley system and the smoke ring blower.

We love this place. Very reasonable membership dues, and good benefits. Was able to buy 4 additional tickets at 10 dollars each to do a play date with a few preschool friends. Love that they do new themes. Always something fun going on for the kiddos.

Such a fun place for kids of all ages, lots of hands on learning stations. The Dino area was so much fun, and they have a scavenger hunt with wands that are interactive with everything outside. Parking is 6$ and free entry with Museums on Us by boa. Our baby is still very little but we plan on coming back many times as he grows up

Great place for kids from toddler to teen/preteen. For younger kids, its super fun and the older kids will learn a lot. We are members, so I love the rotating exhibits; keeps things fresh. The only bummer is that parking is always a pain but its a small price to play for such a cool museum right in the middle of Orange County.

A lot of hands on experimentation for children and children at heart adults. All experiments are easy to interact with, having placards with explanations in layman terms. I had the fortune to visit during December holidays and they had a gingerbread house construction competition, as well as cookie decoration events. If youre a hockey fan, they have a full exhibit explaining the physics of the game. The gift store is packed with lots of interesting stuff, and many books for science buffs of all ages.

The Discovery Cube in O.C. is a wonderful hands on experience for children and adults alike. My 4 year old grand daughter loved learning about bubbles and the best formula to make them as well as how to shop in a market of the future and being part of a mission control for a trip to Mars.

A great way to spend a day. An affordable Saturday adventure. 2 adults and 2 kids was $70. Layer clothes, upstairs doesnt have enough AC especially in the Kitchen Shopping exhibit. Many items in gift shop are $10 and under so you can buy a trinket before you leave. I think the perfect age is when a youngster is learning to read.

My family and I spent over 4 hours here today and we STILL havent seen everything!! My kids were excited and engaged the whole time! I definitely recommend this museum to anyone who has children or if you enjoy hands on activities!

Absolutely recommend bringing your kids! So much fun, so much to explore and read and tons of hands on activities as well as a mini grocery store, cooking classes, mini movie theaters and great healthy snacks. The pizza is delicious! Just a tip, DO NOT bring a stroller!

My 3 yr old loved it!

Such a fun place for ages 3-10! My kids love this learning place.

This place is great for kids of all ages and adults. Great informative and interactive events. I would rec to everyone.

My kids and I love this enough that we got passes to go for the year. The L.A. museum wasnt our fav but we loved the orange Co and Newport Beach one is small but fun. We only went five or six times but a good science center for kids of all ages.

Very impressive and tech-y Childrens Discovery museum. $6 parking. Clean and spacious with lots of exhibits. So many interactive exhibits. Dino hunt outside. Small rock climbing wall indoors. My favorite was the eco-shopping game upstairs. Kids push around a shopping cart with a console that gives them a list of items to scan. Then you check out and see if you got the correct items. Its very fun! The recycling game was fun too. We spent 3 hours here and I dont think we saw the entire place. We just missed the Lion Guard exhibit so that was a bummer. We paid $3/person for the 13 min Deepo 3D movie. It was cute. You can either buy tickets at the front desk, or theres a kiosk right next to the theater that takes credit card only. The movies are relatively short. We have the ASTC reciprocal discount so admission was free for 2 adults and 2 kids. They need to see your membership and ID cards.

We have the annual membership here so I tried to come more times. Today we came for the gingerbread car race. It was fun for my kids aged around 6.

My three homeschooling kids and I had a really great time here! We used our ASTC Passport to get in free. Theres so much to do its almost overwhelming, but the place is designed well. My kids loved the rock climbing wall and all of the hands-on exhibits, and especially Dino Quest and the Mission Control Center. The shopping cart and recycling games were really challenging! We learned a lot and had a lot of fun. We also paid to watch a 3D movie about the Galapagos. It was ok, the kids liked it but it wasnt quite as interactive as other 3D movies we have seen. The Lion Guard exhibit was really adorable and my 3 year old absolutely loved it! Everywhere we turned there was something new and fun to do and touch. Bought a really cool science book at the gift shop and ate some yummy puffy pancakes and iced chai at the cafe.

Center is relatively small and the available activities for the kids are limited. Good for a few hours but activities are quickly exhausted for young kids with limited attention span.

Plenty of different stations for all age group. Came on a field trip with our summer group. They had fun.

Bubblefest is totally worth the price of both admissions. My kids had a blast during the laser bubble show.The science of hockey was also a group favorite.We went on a Thursday and had no real crowds to deal with.Staff was friendly and bathrooms were clean. 5 stars all the way around.

Great place to bring the kids and get out of the house for the day. If you go on a weekday you are guaranteed to have school groups coming so plan on going in the afternoon after they leave.

Great fun place for kids of all ages to learn and interact with all sorts of different parts of science life of the world and the universe and you get a great work out.Field Trip!

My big sis took me here when I had a day off from school and it was a ton of fun! So much to do and look at and discover. So much to learn. Highly recommend this place to visit for all ages for an awesome day.

So many things to see and do for children and adults. My granddaughter loved the Science of Hockey and the space center. The outdoor dinosaur area was fascinating. I would go there again whenever family comes to visit.

¡Filtrip!had a great time learning with my Princess Jayla and her class on our way back I asked the kids what they liked the most and they all responded with lunch.

Last time I went here was for a school dance with 4 rivaling high schools. No fights, the place was fun. Everyone made out in the planetarium.

Great interactive museum for kids 12 and under. Older children will be board. There are hundreds of cool science demonstrations that kids love. Great way to spend an afternoon. The food is a bit pricey but there are many healthy options.

Great place for 4 year old granddaughter. Shes happy to be able to do all of the hands-on activities. Especially the recycling game.

There is a lot to do. They change the exhibits frequently enough to make having the membership a great value. We never see everything in one visit. The parking pass is a great deal too. The Long Beach Aquarium could learn something from the Discovery Cube in that way. The food is convenient & appetizing, but really expensive. Bring food, especially if vegan. I find the options at the cafe cost prohibitive.

Great for families, classes, and even interesting for adults. I spent a few hours here with my friend and we didnt even get to the space area upstairs, theres so much to look at and explore!

Our 8 and 3 year-olds loved this museum, which had many indoor hands-on exhibits and an interesting outdoor dinosaur playground with a wand waving fossil hunt. We also did the winter wonderfest that had a half dozen snow attractions or tube runs. The food was also surprisingly good for a childrens museum. My kids spent a lot of time in the eco-shopping exhibit.

Some visitors are not wearing masks?? In the middle of huge increases in Covid19 in the county and in California in general this is not ok.

Went here because of reciprocal tickets via out local science center. Fun place to explore for kids. The shopping area and recycle game were the biggest hits plus the rocket launch area. The dinosaur area was also enjoyed by the kids. I think parking costs but can’t enter now but just be ready for that.

Prepare to be here for two or three hrs, theres so much hands on experiments . you are allowed to bring a lunch bag with snacks. Theres a small cafeteria in case you didnt bring snacks. Look for coupons, sometimes you can get on child in for free. Defenetly worth the trip.

This was an awesome place... my 4 year old autistic son loved touching and seeing everything

My son loved this place! It was amazing never been but lots of fun. There was a lot to do and lots of interactive things my son is 7 and this was perfect for him.

The place is busy but the kiddos get to learn different areas of the sciences hands on and its loads of fun for them to see them interact with the exhibits.

My kids like coming here when they switch events, its pretty cool but their old fixed exhibits really need to be fixed. What happened to the rockets?! But bubble fest every year is a must go! It was great. Also if you get the annual pass, dont skimp on the parking pass too. Two trips and you make your money back.

Took my grandkids there and they had a blast.!

Just ok, confusing layout, fixed exibits are dull and out dated. IF YOU ARE ALONE and chaperoning 2 or more younger kids, I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE. YOU WILL LOSS SITE OF THEM! Making your experience VERY stressful. They need a complete overhaul of this venue. Boring! Other kids museums are way better. Irvine pretend museum is much better. The cube is just kind of dull. Never in a rush to go back.

Great place for little kids. A lot of fun games and scientific toys around for them to play with and learn.

We love and miss spending time and learning at the discovery cube

Always something new to see at the cube in Orange County. The kids as well as adults have a great time as well. The center has upgraded their eatry adding healthier options as well as a hands on kitchen where you can make your own meal. At the time of this post the cost for the kitchen demonstration was $20.00. Stop by this science center next time your in town.

What an amazing place, not only the kids had so much fun but they have learned a lot about scientific phenomena and things that we face in our life. Also we had experienced a simulated ride in a helicopter and launched a rocket and learned the science behind hockey and the nicest thing is that we saw whats inside the big cube we always drive by.

Great place to explore. Lots of different exhibits. Cant wait to visit again!

It’s amazing! My kids love the place, absolutely 5 stars. The whole place is very clean, and there are many things to do and observe!

Good place to bring in your family and learn a lot of stuff. I been coming here since 2003 when I was in sixth grade on a field trip. 17 years later and I’m still coming here!

I would give this 4 stars however many exhibits do not work or are broken. As a member I have complained. The new Dino exhibit is pretty cool though.

Awesome place for the family. Lots of great activities. Had a great time with my family here recommend it.

Wonderful for the kids. Really gets their minds working with hands on activities that gets them asking questions and learning while having a blast.

It was awesome they such a life like hurricane and Earth quake simulators.... They also had thing for ALL ages. It was especially fun when the kids where able to go on little grocery shopping treausure hunt. Also, I think it was very cool how they had a rock climbing wall but it was unlike other you went sideways not up! It was very fun. Its also very cool how kids can touch everything!!

Great place to visit with children. It’s so much fun for kids as well as adults. Wonderfest was really good.

Great time had by all. My special kid is 12 now and still has a blast-maybe more now than ever!

Best time to go is on a Monday. Practically had place to ourselves. Kids really enjoyed it

Took my son here and he had a blast. Hes only 3, so he was a little limited in everything he could do, but he still loved it. Its a little pricy though, so look for coupons.

Wonderful place to bring younger kids. Clean, friendly, and reasonably priced. It can get busy fast as large groups of school kids tend to have field trips here. I took my kids early and they had a blast.Tons of exhibits that really grasped and tantalized their senses. Definitely check out what special exhibits they got going on beforehand and special admission prices.

Great place to take kids. Very interactive and fun exhibits!! Staff are very friendly and helpful! Worth the visit.

Such a fun and educational place to go to with the kids!

Have attended many times and always learning new things.

Excellent place for kids to learn, play, and have some fun!

Great place for quick visits with your kids. Theyre special exhibits are what keep us coming back

Very cool kids museum, Lots of interactive exhibits!

Small yet fun. Lots of interactive areas for kids to learn and play. Health conscience food court and kids learning kitchen.

Great place for kids and adults! Every exhibit is interactive.

Nice place. I spend a great time.

Theres lots to see and play. My kids loved it here. I got a year membership. Great place to spend the day with the kids. We had a lot of fun.
