I recommend going there when the doors open ... it gets quite crowded later in the day. Good Eats ...

Mako, thanks for the alert about this, we went (although not until at around noon on Sunday and traffic was really bad to get parked until I got lucky) and the kids and us had a great time!

Gotta make it out one of these years. Back when I was a Field Service Engineer, I used to maintain some of the computers and printers at JPL. Definitely a cool place.
