At the California Science Center's New Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center
With IMAX Journey to Space 3D, Included Boxed Lunch & Cookie Shop
Activity Level
Prepare for liftoff at the California Science Center’s monumental new Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center! Behold the world’s only launch-configured space shuttle stack—towering nearly 200 feet high with twin solid rocket boosters and external tank fully mated. Opening November 13, 2026, this massive 200,000-square-foot expansion doubles the museum’s footprint to mark an extraordinary chapter in aerospace history. Our experience begins in the Science Center’s IMAX theatre with a screening of Journey to Space 3D on the seven-story screen. Narrated by Sir Patrick Stewart, this sweeping cinematic experience honors the 30-year Space Shuttle era while charting humanity’s future in deep-space exploration. Relive pivotal shuttle milestones like deploying the Hubble Space Telescope and assembling the ISS, get a glimpse of daily life in microgravity, and preview NASA’s Artemis and future Mars missions alongside historic footage of Endeavour’s legendary crawl through the streets of Los Angeles. Next, step inside the Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center where an orientation film traces the shuttle’s legacy, culminating in a dramatic launch simulation as theatrical lighting and fog fall away to unveil the towering full stack. Stand directly beneath the 20-story Endeavour, gaze into its open payload bay, and ascend a 140-foot gantry-style elevator for breathtaking perspectives from cantilevered glass platforms. Throughout the spectacular multi-level galleries, explore over 200 aerospace artifacts and nearly two dozen aircraft—from iconic fighters like the Harrier “Jump Jet” to futuristic air taxis. The 747 Experience allows you to walk-through a 70-foot forward fuselage of a Boeing 747-400 for a simulated flight to Seoul. Enjoy an included boxed lunch at the Science Center, followed by a visit to a local cookie shop for a fresh cookie and milk (an oat milk substitute is available upon advance request at the time of booking) to top off an unforgettable, out-of-this-world day!
To ensure a healthy and enjoyable travel experience for our guests, this tour will operate with additional health & wellness measures in place.
