About

The Lawrence Hall of Science is a public science center above the UC Berkeley campus. It has hands-on exhibits for all ages, plus a planetarium and a 3D theater that cost $6 on top of admission. The building has no air conditioning, so some exhibit spaces can close in hot weather, and its cafe is closed for a kitchen expansion.
