Youth get inspired as they explore, build, and create with new friends and cool tools! Our Camps and Classes are a great place to spend winter breaks, summer breaks, or anytime in between.

Celebrate your birthday or any other occasion by treating friends to a special day at the Hall. Discover our hands-on exhibits, explore the activities in the labs, design something new, and play in our outdoor science park overlooking the entire SF Bay. Increase the fun by adding in a science film or planetarium show or an hour long science workshop featuring live animal experience or invention challenges.
Event Rentals
Business meetings, office parties, weddings, and reunions are better at the Lawrence Hall of Science. Treat your guests to a panoramic Bay view, dynamic science exhibits, and friendly services.
