Yesterday we decided to get out of town and spend the day together as a family. This is a place we have been wanting to visit for a while now. It is so worth it! Go, especially if you have a science/space maniac in your family like we do!Check out the pictures and see if you can figure out who our "spaceperson" is!
With the admission price you get to watch two specialized movies! The planetarium is so cool. You lay back in a comfy chair and watch the movie like that! There is also an IMAX theater there too.
There are fun exhibits for the kids and adults. Here is D in a space craft...dreams do come true!
One of the hands-on exhibits was making a LEGO space cruiser that is solar powered. He spent at least 20 minutes here!
Have you ever seen such happiness?
One of the three major telescopes that operate at night...it is FREE to go in and look through the telescopes at night! They also do activities where you can bring your sleeping bags and watch a movie under the stars, have food and look through the telescopes...soooo fun!
Yes, the tween girl was there too! And she actually liked it! Here she is looking through a filtered lense at the SUN! We actually could see the flares spouting off the sun! Amazing!

D trying to work as an astronaut! He took this exhibit very, very seriously!
So, when you are in Oakland and you want to eat...where do you go?
Fenton's Creamery!
My favorite restaurant in the world...and this is why!
A day cannot get any better than this!
