California Science Center
A science museum where you can see the retired space shuttle Endeavour and the SR-71 Blackbird spy plane for free. It sits in Exposition Park.
Located in Exposition Park next to USC, the center's permanent exhibits are free. Visiting the space shuttle Endeavour usually requires a timed reservation and a small booking fee. The museum displays the Endeavour, an SR-71 Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft, and interactive zones on ecosystems and the human body. IMAX theater tickets cost extra. Endeavour is being moved to the new Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center, so the way it is displayed is changing for now. It is open daily from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Within the same park are the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County and the Rose Garden, and Expo Park/USC station on the Metro E Line is right here.
