    Very cool and neat sci-fi architecture- Caught Body Worlds and the Mummies exhibit here, so watch out for body-snatchers!

    Flash flood in the Desert room of Ecosystems exhibit comes at the ten min. mark, but get there a bit early to get a seat in the splash zone, eg @ 3:17pm for the 3:20pm flood.

    To beat the crowds of kids that come for field trips, come after 12 PM when groups start leaving for lunch.

    On USC gamedays, be sure you tell the parking attendant you're there for the museum. You'll pay $8 instead of $25 for parking!
