[reprinted from e-mail message]

....as a kid on daytrips with my grandfather, it was a slice of heaven. Even
without everything working.

I really fondly remember everything you mentioned. The hatchlings, the
bubble exhibits, the huge blue info wheel turning(and beckoning) down at the
end of the hallway, the weight and strength of elements tests, the
bio-illumination exhibits, all the deep lush greenery downstairs with all
the running water and wildlife exhibits, the huge billiard balls rolling all
over inside the glass encased structure exhibit, all the flashing and
chasing neon and blood/body fluids aspects of the Kinsey Health Museum....
the awesome Air and Space Museum.. the LA County Museum of Natural
History... pretty much everything on property museum wise in Expostition
Park between USC and the LA Memorial Coliseum and the LA Sports arena..
boarded by the cool and massive rose garden and the huge ex-Olympic pool.

That whole area of Exposition park floods me with wonderful and fond
memories of my childhood and truly wonderful and fond memories of taking
museum trips with my grandfather.

I still like the CSS and the other museums on property and in that immediate
vicinity ... but as a child, the California Museum of Science and Industry
was a thinkers and explorers and a learners and a discoverers and a
knowledge wonderers and wide-eyed-informational Disneyland-type place for
me. I LOVED that place as a kid... and I really could never forget it.

Tomorrowland was nice as a kid... and where TL tried to be the Museum of Science and
Industry-like, the museum blew the 'science and industry' aspects of old TL
away IMO.
I loved Disneyland as a kid... but i fondly remember my trips to the Exposition Park
museums alot more..
I wanna go back soon!! I haven't been to CSS or the LAMNH in over a fewyears.
