Some call it magical, some call it most complex flying machine ever built. The Space Shuttle Endeavour traveled 122,883,151 miles around the Earth and 12 miles through the streets of Los Angeles to its forever home in the California Science Center. You’ll enjoy locally inspired food and drink within arms-reach of this iconic flying machine while being entertained by roaming magicians and the smooth melodies of jazz vocalist Mayumi. The evening will include museum access where you can learn about local ecosystems and see just how Endeavour snaked its way through the neighborhoods of south LA. This will be a truly magical night that will linger in your memory for years to come.
