The Pacific Science Center is a great place to explore. Inside is a Tropical Butterfly House that allows you to walk through and experience hundreds of breathtaking butterflies in a tropical environment. If you stay still, you can catch a photo of one landing on you. There is a Planetarium with live space presentations and a Salt Water Tide Pool, where you can get a closer look at local marine life.
