Lawrence Hall of Science

01/18/2010 - 10:30am

 Looks like most forecasts are predicting rain for Monday. Instead of braving the elements (wet slides = yuck!),let's go to last week's weather backup: the Lawrence Hall of Science (map link). 


Lawrence Hall of Science

1 Centennial Drive
Berkeley, CA 94720

Meeting place: The museum opens at 10am so feel free to come early. I nominate the beachball canons near the front entrance (when you see it, you'll know what I mean!) as the meeting place. 

Holiday Schedule: the LHS website indicates that there are events planned for Monday, and that it is only closed for Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas, so I am assuming  that that means it will be business as usual despite it being an academic holiday. 

Lunch: While they do have a cafeteria, from a financial point of view, it's probably best to consider alternatives. Any takers for a roadtrip to Pyramid Brewhouse?

Parking: If you have never been to LHS, when you park remember the parking space number. When you get to LHS, there is a place for you to enter your space number and pre-pay for parking. I generally pay for two hours and that usually covers me. 

Fees:

  • $12 -- Adults
  • $9 -- Students (7-18)/Senior (62+)
  • $6 -- Children 3-6
  • Free -- Children <3

Discounts: LHS does offer reciprocity towards some ACM members (e.g. I believe a Habitot member pays half price).
