This small, unique museum is located on the second floor of the train station and worth taking the time to explore, especially if you like anything to do with outer space and NASA’s mission. The center consists of numerous interpretive displays, literature and static displays directly related to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), California Institute of Technology. In one of the rooms there is a visual/auto display, which is constantly playing explaining some of the current operations NASA is involved with in space exploration. Finally, we want to recognize the young lady we met there, named Leslie C. (Outreach Coordinator), who went out of her way to make us feel welcome and took the time to explain and educate us on many aspects of their mission. This is a great place for children to educate them on space exploration, and did we mention, it was FREE. There is also plenty of free parking around the Harvey Center and train station."

The staff was really friendly and had some cool modes and displays I recommend checking it out since it’s in the Harvey house and they have the Route 66 museum there also."
