Wow Moments at Festivals

“We had a great time at BubbleFest! We can’t wait for more events and visits!”

Members get priority and discounted registration for festivals, summer camp, events, and workshops. This includes the family-favorite festival days: Balloon Drop, TinkerFest and BubbleFest.

 

 

Sparks of Curiosity in Exhibits

“The exhibits are fabulous. There are so many new things to learn there every time we come. The whole setup is thoughtful, there’s a lot of variety.”

There’s always something new to learn and enjoy with free, unlimited admission during regular operating hours. Look forward to new science demonstrations, activities and more all throughout the year.

 

New Discoveries through Telescopes

“This is by far the best science museum, especially for kids into planets. The best part is the telescopes on the roof. The volunteers are knowledgeable, friendly and so helpful. We spend hours here.”

Every starry-eyed space enthusiast will love exclusive access to monthly Members-only telescope viewings. These are special opportunities for custom viewings and peeks into the cosmos.

 

Treats from the Cafe and Gift Shop

“After living in Oakland all my life, I had no idea how fun Chabot Space Center was until recently. This place has now become a family tradition. The staff is super friendly. And the food is awesome!”

Try something delicious in the Town Kitchen Cafe or take home uniquely whimsical souvenirs from the Starry Night Gift Shop with exclusive member discounts!

 

Exploration in Science Centers Across the Country
