Jill's Journal: The Skirball Cultural Center is a Jewish educational museum in Los Angeles, but --
shhhhh -- we weren’t really there for the culture. We were there for Noah’s Ark.
The Skirball has a gigantic (as in 8,000-square foot) Noah’s Ark. There are life-sized elephants, giraffes, and 400+ other animals, all two-by-two, of course. Everything is made from recycled materials and/or regular objects found around a house (brooms, bottle tops, etc.). It’s really quite amazing. But the best part – the very best part – is that it’s entirely hands-on. Kids are encouraged to touch absolutely everything.
It was very expensive at $35 to get us in the door and for that one only gets a two-hour time slot to play, explore, and experience this Old Testament playground. However, the girls absolutely loved it. They’re already asking to return.
Kids can pretend to feed and care for the animals, as well as clean up their dung (!). Someone clearly had a sense of humor when creating this exhibit.

This looks like qutie a bit of fun for sure. The price is probably reflective of the city? Maybe??
Oh, I'm certain you're right. Everything here is more expensive...but there's so many fun things to do!
