    I had the honor of escorting one very excited astrophotographer and his girlfriend (my Goddaughter)…read moreto experience a talk by Dr. Filipenko on the 150th anniversary of the James Lick Act of Congress. The talk started at 7:45 pm in the evening, and went well into 9 pm after the speaker allowed for a short Q&A session. I learned more about James Lick and how generational wealth was built than I'd ever imagined possible on a Sunday. Unfortunately for us, humidity was at an all time high, so we only had the opportunity to look at these massive telescopes, instead of gazing at the far away stars they were built to study. I did get to walk through The Chabot science center and see how fun it would be to come back with you get kids. Can you believe, you can even decorate a postcard that they will send to space. I would now like to design a piece of mail destined for space. Also, you can come out on Friday and Saturday nights and get the opportunity to look into the heavens with these giant creatures. I guess, this just means I have a rain check to visit Oakland in the near future.

    This place is so great! It has a lot of kids to do and the planetarium show was awesome. The…read moretelescopes and observation deck was beautiful. The bottom floor is being renovated right now so I definitely want to come back when that is done. Great place to take kids of all ages!

    Great night sky view, saw moon up close. Parking situation's good at night…read more Heads up that there's a lot people, with lines. Appreciate the staff there for hosting!

Even though we were standing right behind the two ladies I took my chance right away to look into it while he was talking to the ladies He then mumbled something and was trying to take the step stool away Let a little kid to see Then her father and when he finished. The professor was showing the kids the photo he took of the moon on his phone and was talking about how a meteor hit the moon and so forth I told my boyfriend to take the chance to see since no one was paying attention When he saw my boyfriend looking into it he immediately tried taking the step stool and mumbled to him that kids go first in a very low voice I felt disrespected and i was mad We walked out I get it.. I feel like I'm maybe over reacting But I don't like being disrespected when we did nothing wrong We waited, we were in line, we weren't talking at all when we walked in, he never mentioned that kids would go first when we got up there nor after the two ladies Definitely was not worth the disrespect
