It challenged the intellect with thoughtful displays of current and future technology. Now they have only a dumbed-down “science-y” theme park called “California Science Center”, where you can pay extra to see the Endeavor (which is impressive, I’ll grant) or watch a movie. Maybe it’s the difference in perspective between pre- and post-adulthood, but I can’t help feeling that we’re letting our children down.
