If a trip to Disneyland has left you thirsty for a more intellectually stimulating experience, take a day trip from Coventry Court Apartments to Santa Ana's Discovery Science Center and recharge your mental batteries in this top-notch facility. Opened in 1998, this is one of the largest science museums on the West Coast, with over a hundred amazing hands-on exhibits to entertain and educate. A massive ten-story solar array cube provides power for the structure in an environmentally responsible way while also providing a striking local landmark. Once inside, kids will flock to the cloud ring generator, rock climbing wall, hurricane tube, and other awesome nature-related exhibits on the first floor. Upstairs there’s a tremendous assortment of construction toys and tools to let kids work out their own ideas. This is a place where it’s very easy to blink and find a day’s gone by, so set aside lots of time for your little ones to explore.
