About this place

Western Science Center is a natural history museum located in Hemet, California, known as the home of the Pacific Mastodon. Families and children can explore exhibits focused on the region's natural history, cultural heritage, and the importance of water to life through environmental change. The center also hosts events like PaleoCon, where visitors can meet paleontologists and learn directly about their scientific work.

If you are a member here

A membership to Western Science Center carries reciprocal admission, so the same card is worth free or discounted entry at other places in this program.

Reciprocal programs are built for travel and most exclude places close to the one where you hold your membership, so this is worth the most when you are away from home. How reciprocal memberships work
