The Western Science Center is a state-of-the-art museum complex that has a fascinating array of fossils and archaeological artifacts which were unearthed at Diamond Valley Lake.

Younger visitors love meeting ‘Max’, the largest mastodon in the western hemisphere, or ‘Xena’, a large teenage Columbian mammoth.

It’s a wonderful place to let your imagination run wild as they have a ton of exhibits such as their path made of tempered glass or the replication of a mastodon dig site.

Their hands-on activities are extremely popular, especially their “make your own fossil” station.

Check out their calendar before you head over as you may be able to participate in one of their many events such as ‘Science Under the Stars’.
