    The question really should be, what isn't good here. AAA rates it a gem and it's deserved. We have a membership, and it's paid off itself in spades. Bubble Day was highly successful.

    Stare at the night sky at the Davis Planetarium, or check out the Imax Theater with its five-story screen. The Center also has kid-friendly interactive exhibits. Read more: http://bit.ly/OJ8QKc

    Newton’s Alley was terrific, and the place to go if you have small children (or adult children with a love of play).

    You can bring guests on your family membership if you have extra spots. Caregiver/Babysitter can take the kids even if primary member isn't going- you just have to send a note!

    If you prefer to park on the street: 2hr pkg & 4hr nearby. Get 4hr ticket @ the machine directly across the street from the group entrance, then drive over to the 2hr area where there's more space.
