… are many activities created to teach them about desert life. There is extremely good information about the history of the region. Also there is a small gift store inside.

Small, but loved the old woman meteorite and the aquarium of tui chub.

The main attraction in my opinion is California’s second largest meteorite. It’s known as the old woman meteorite. It was found in the old woman mountains Back in 1975. It’s 38 inches long 24 inches high and 30 inches wide and it it originally weighed 6070 pounds. At some .177 pounds of the media was cut off to be studied. The discovery center also has a lot of desert exhibits including A live tortoise pen.

Visited the museum on Wednesday afternoon at 2p. Was happy to score easy and free parking near the museum. It was low key and wasn’t crowded. Museum closed at 5P but still had enough time to explore and watched the last planetarium show.

A very nice resource center with an empathise on learning, natural history and local education. Very well designed, enjoyable and interesting. The staff were very helpful and friendly. I observed a Junior Ranger Ceremony while there and was impressed with the values imparted to the children. Obviously staffed by people who care and contribute. Great place to visit with the whole family.
