NOTICE: In accordance with recommendations given by the County of Orange and the California Department of Public Health, the Back Bay Science Center has temporarily cancelled all programs until further notice. Staff are monitoring the situation daily, and programs will resume when it is deemed safe. This is a preventative measure to help slow the spread of COVID-19 through our community. The decision was made out of an abundance of caution, and to do our part to help protect the public’s health. We are disappointed that we won’t be able to welcome students and the public during this time, but please know we will do our best to resume programming as soon as possible.

Wear a face covering when you are around people not in your household, especially when indoors.
