From its giant Tyrannosaurus rex skull to the billion-year timeline of California geology and life-size models of the Ice Age mastodons, this museum tucked away in Hemet on the way to Diamond Valley Lake is definitely a find. Its permanent exhibits include Ice Age fossils discovered when the lake was excavated and the “Prehistoric Pathways!” which focuses on the Dynamoterror and other dinosaurs excavated at the Menefee Formation in New Mexico studied by the center’s own researchers. There are hands-on activities for kids and two short films in the center’s theater playing throughout the day.

We pulled into the parking lot about noon on a Friday, it was nearly full. The area was swarming with hundreds of kids. My friend said "no way" so we left. Go to the lookout on the other end of the lake, it's peaceful and free. Hemet put your school someplace else. MWD should not subsidize a charter school.

I was staying with family in Winchester and was trying to find something nearby to keep my 4 year old occupied. He is very interested in extinct animals right now and I discovered the Western Science Center while searching online. I am glad that I found it because it was a hit.
First impression was that there was a really large parking lot and there were A LOT of kids running/playing outside in this fenced in courtyard area. I thought that I was accidentally trespassing at a school. The first building I found had a sign that said that all exhibits were permanently closed so I thought maybe the museum closed down. I saw a mom will a stroller in the parking lot and I asked her if there’s a museum here. She told me where to go. SO, when you are in the parking lot and are facing all the big buildings head to the building that is immediately right to the fenced in courtyard. Above you will see signs of different prehistoric eras hanging. Besides that, it is NOT obvious where the museum is.
Anyway, once we got to the museum and exhibits it was great. It was only $9 (4 and under were free) and it took up about 2 hours of our time. When you walk in there are exhibits focusing on local archaeology. The other exhibit area is about paleontology. My son was not interested in the archaeology, but he LOVED the paleontology stuff. There is a video to watch, fossils to see, interactive things for kids (and adults I guess) to do that my son thought was super fun. I can see a typical person rushing through the whole museum in 30 mins, but if you enjoy these types of things and/our your child likes to do little interactive activities...you could easily be there for 2 hours (we probably could’ve started longer but I was hungry).
Side note: the bathrooms were really big and really nice and clean.
If I had gone to this museum alone, I probably would’ve given it a 4 (it was pretty small), BUT seeing how much fun my son had...well, that moves it up to a 5.

We drove from Palm Springs to see this museum. Parking lot was nearly empty. Several large buildings and no obvious point of entry. All the buildings were locked up except one. Most are apparently used for educational purposes and labs. Small entry way to the museum, no gift shop to speak of. Nowhere to get a coffee or snack. Exhibits not very well presented in my opinion. The 2 short videos were not of National Geographic quality to say the least. Basically 2 rooms..we walked through in about 20 minutes. Not worth the time or cost.

I learned a lot during my visit about prehistoric times in this area. There are many exhibits and finds from the excavation of what is now Diamond Lake.

The dinosaurs was different compared to other fossils.
We enjoyed that and took pictures.
We could see clearly how their skeletons looked like.
We were told that we could see people who find fossils.
A must see!

The Western Science Center is a great family place, interesting, a good learning experience and hands-on things for kids. Nice.

Took a trip here with our 3 year old son, he was so excited and engaged the entire time. The exhibits are very impressive and they offer many different activities and pictures for children of all ages. The play area they have for the children is also very engaging, helps kiddos to think and not just play. My husband and I really enjoyed coming here and reading all the information about the local finds. What a great find
