Details

Jet Propulsion Laboratory's Open House

This popular event celebrates JPL's accomplishments with exhibits and demonstrations about the Laboratory's ongoing research and space exploration. Many of the Lab's scientists and engineers are on hand to answer questions about how spacecraft are sent to other planets, how scientists utilize space technologies to explore Earth and how researchers are searching for planets beyond the solar system.

The Open House is a fun and educational experience for children too, with special hands-on activities designed for kids.

Admission and parking is FREE.

No backpacks or ice chests are allowed, with the exception of small purses and diaper bags. Visitors, vehicles and personal belongings are subject to inspection.

DIRECTIONS:
JPL is located at 4800 Oak Grove Drive in Pasadena, off the 210 (Foothill) Freeway at the Berkshire Avenue/Oak Grove Drive exit. Parking is available near the Oak Grove main gate and the eastern boundary of JPL, accessible from Windsor Avenue via the Arroyo Boulevard exit off the 210 Freeway. Buses will move people between several locations around the facility.

    I didn't see anyone from the group since I don't know anyone but we had the best time ever. My kids and I could have done both days. I brought several friends who also loved it. I never knew about this so thank you for the heads up.

    I had a similar experience as John did, I didn't see anyone from the meetup. The J.P.L was very cool with all of its technology and completely crowded with people.

    We went, were there all day and had a great time! But with no posted meetup location and no way to contact the organizer once we were there, we never saw a single member of the meetup. Thank god I didn't go alone or I would have been miserable. I was really hoping to see the event with other members. It sort defeated the purpose of a meetup.
