3 Best Places To See in Santa Ana, CA

We enjoyed going to the Discovery Cube as a family while on our vacation to Cali! They have so many cool interactive activities and they are fun for kids of any age and the whole family. My 2 little girls really enjoyed it, ages 8 and 10. Everything in there is very educational. If you homeschool your child, this is a great place to take them as a field trip 1 day. The kids are sure to love it. They sell food inside where you can also sit down and eat and there is of course a gift shop. The have scientific experiments involving space, pulley and weight experiment, recycling experiments, grocery shopping experiment which makes the child read the ingredients on certain items so that they scan the right 1 for their cart. They have an experiment about hockey, you can learn alot about dinosaurs and they also have an aquatic area where you can pet stingrays. Awesome place which takes at least a couple hours to get through if you do each experiment. You definitely get your money’s worth here.

We were in town and decided to spend a rainy afternoon at Discovery Cube, and I’m so glad we did! The exhibits were really interactive, fun and informative, and we ended up spending almost 4 hours there with our 8 and 5 year old. Pricing was fair. Only bummer was there were several small pieces of various exhibits that weren’t functioning properly, but there were plenty of other things to see and do that it wasn’t a huge deal.

An interactive science museum that is bigger then it looks from the outside. So many hidden extra exhibits. This is a treat! Bonus is that it's part of the reciprocal museum membership program. The cafe has some tasty food as well.

Had not been here in a while, but came here back in July and loved all the exhibits. I was not able to see the Anime or Comic exhibit, but their main museum entry covers a lot of different art and styles. I loved all the Silver and Gold jewelry as well, so neat and beautiful. Came on a Sunday last summer, not a planned trip but it was on the way back home to San Diego so my friend and I decided to go there on my birthday. It was not busy at all, early afternoon and tickets were not expensive at all. Great little museum, definitely check it out if you have time.

I stopped by Bowers today and decided to purchase a membership. It’s been a decade since my last visit, yet it still holds up to my vivid memories. The curation is inviting and engaging. The cultural rooms are fascinating, stunning, and educational. The grounds are serene. I'm intrigued and cannot wait to see future exhibits.

Awesome museum in the O.C. Lot of fantastic sculptures and art to see and enjoy. Very historic place too. Price is worth the admission I feel. Parking located on the side. Not ever a long wait in line. Plus has a nice restaurant and free things to enjoy while also enjoying the art. Fun for all ages.
