Science
Court
When
you enter the California Science Center, you'll step
inside Science Court, a fun-filled space that features
science demonstrations, special exhibits and even a
bike you can ride across a cable three stories above
the ground! Science Court is made up of three special
areas: Edgerton Court on the first floor, Disney
Science Court on the second floor, and Mark
Taper Sky Court, located on the third floor.
Science Court also offers special exhibits and programs
that change often, so check the schedule for
upcoming events.
Science Court Attractions
Visit the Science Center's Air and Space
exhibits in their new home in Science Court! Exhibits are making the move from the SKETCH Foundation Gallery (now closed), so check Science Court often to find out if your favorite aerospace artifacts have arrived.
Defy the laws of gravity! Ride a bicycle across a one-inch-wide cable 43 feet above the ground, and experience a thrilling lesson in physics!
Our multi-sensory motion-based simulators make you part of the action. Available learning experiences include themes from air and space as well as a variety of
other interesting science topics.
On October 11, 2011, NASA officially transferred title and ownership of space shuttle Endeavour to the California Science Center during a ceremony at the Science Center in Los Angeles. The transfer is the first step toward the Science Center receiving Endeavour in 2012. The STS-134 crew, Endeavour's last, attended the ceremony. They are pictured here in front of the Apollo-Soyuz Command Module in Science Court. From left to right are Mike Fincke, STS-134 Commander Mark Kelly, California Science Center president Jeff Rudolph, Drew Feustel and Greg Johnson.
