UC Davis Tahoe Science Center

We had a great tour, excellent explanations that tied the entire story of Lake Tahoe ecosystem and the many factors influencing water clarity. Given an actual docent to describe each exhibit and answer questions. Highly recommend.

We left feeling as if our minds we're stuffed to overflowing. This place will answer all questions then go on to tell you things you hadn't even thought of about Lake Tahoe: it's formation, ecology, Flora and fauna; why it is so blue and why it is currently less blue; historic efforts to clean the lake including mistakes. Great visuals and friendly and knowledgeable staff. Worth multiple visits.

Beautiful facility. My daughter loves it here

Visited to learn about Lake Tahoe and it's history. Their presentation was very informative and interesting with many unexpected details. The combination of live, video and interactive elements made it perfect for adults and kids. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because I had some problems hearing because of the ambient noise in the background in some areas. Recommend it if you are in the area.

A tourist trap - if you were snorkeling in the lake stoned, it would be more fun.
