The Chabot Science Center is way up on Skyline Blvd. in the Oakland hills. It is named after
Anthony Chabot (Shah-bow), who among other things, donated the first telescope to the city of Oakland. The Science Center has three working telescopes, a planetarium, special interactive science exhibits, science summer camps, classes for children and adults, and sci-fi movies on the weekend for all you Trekkies. You can even get lunch or dinner there if you want. Opened in 2000 with 86,000 square feet, it replaced a small 1915 facility that was at a lower elevation. It is also a popular launching point for hiking and biking trails. For other "C" photos, visit the
ABC Wednesday meme.
Still autoposting. Will be able to leave comments after Friday.
This looks like quite a place. It seems odd seeing an Oakland scene without either a colorful mural or fancy tile work.
ReplyDeletethe last time i was in oakland, i think i went by this; didn't see it closely enough to know what it was.

ReplyDeleteSounds like a cool place to hang out.
ReplyDeleteLove Chabot, always such great exhibits. Thought you'd get a kick out of the fact that I linked back to one of your posts today - August 6th. Hope to do it more often :-)
