      The At-a-Glance listed admission is for the museum, not the exhibit. The exhibit actually costs $10. Also a better number to reach them at is 714-738-6545

      My 7 and 3 year old had such a fun time at the museum. The staff was great. They walked us through the art gallery and had finger painting and clay activities which were fun for all of us. I really enjoyed the experience and the hospitality from everyone. The exhibit was perfect for our little ones especially the Star Wars paintings. It's a perfect size museum for little ones and adults. Thank you for your time and for making a fun and inexpensive Sunday! We loved it. The gift shop is very nice also, we even bought the lava jelly. It is very nice and clean, we also love the play area in front of the museum. After the visit we walked around and ate at Angelo and Vincis which has the best pizza at the best price. Thank you again and we look forward to visiting soon! : ) Collapse
