Chabot Space and Science Center

Its planetarium programming and observatory heritage make it a distinctive science destination, with the surrounding landscape adding a different setting from a downtown museum visit.

Check the daytime program and any evening telescope-viewing arrangements separately. Viewing through telescopes depends on the weather and the operator's schedule, so it should not be assumed to accompany every admission. Choose activities that suit your group and allow time for the approach into the hills rather than planning an immediate transfer to another attraction.
