Today, my family and I went to The Science Behind Pixar Exhibition at The California Science Center<\/strong><\/a>. I love all Pixar movies, it’s really difficult to say which is my favorite. It was very fascinating to see the filmmaking process and the science behind these award-winning movies. There were interactive stations which explained each step and life-size creations of some of our favorite characters. I also enjoyed the first-hand accounts of Pixar employees – their love for what they do definitely shows in their work.<\/p>\n

Although my daughter can’t read, she really enjoyed the interactive elements and of course pressing buttons! It’s a great exhibit for \u00a0parents and children alike. I highly recommend taking middle schoolers who are interested in art, and high schoolers who want to be inspired.<\/p>\n

Because we visited mid-week, it wasn’t very crowded. It’s best to purchase timed tickets in advance<\/strong><\/a>, especially if you plan to visit on a weekend.<\/p>\n
