A true East Bay gem. Pro tip field trips leave at 1pm so after you have the place to yourself. Only con we went on a Friday and the theater had no shows today. Friday and Saturday night 730-1030 they have free telescope 🔠viewing but is weather dependent . We saw Jupiter in great detail. Free parking, planetarium shows were included in admission, and great AC made this a Spring Break treat.
