They also have converts, lectures, and other musicals. We saw a children's musical which was super fun for my grandson. You will need tickets for events here so just go to their website and pick what you would like to see. The ushers are quite nice and will help you to your seats. I think the theatre was redone just a few years back. They should be changed out, but they will do. The seats are not comfortable and that is why they are getting 4 stars and not 5 and also because they have next to no concessions. That is how we noticed the front row is just a tad close. We later moved to the front row because no one in our row was wearing a mask, and I like breathing.

We were in the 4th row and found it perfect. I don't suggest the front row because it is very close to the stage and your view will be a tad obstructed by that. There is a balcony which has nice seats and the floor has has good seating. It has seating for at least 1000 but not more. The Downey Theatre is a very nice small theater. So happy this site did not become just part of the shopping mall or hospital or sports complex. As a Downey resident I am very proud of this history and the role it played in getting the USA to the moon and more.


The center is not that large and if you have 30-40 school aged kids enjoying themselves your little family may not ! If you forget to call - see if there is a school bus or two parked in front and then you’ll know to come back another day or later.Įven without kids this place is fascinating as it talks about the locations history as the place where engineers came up with the Apollo and Space Shuttle programs. Most have to leave in time to get the kids back for dismissal. My 2 year old grandson enjoyed the younger child section geared to his age with interactive hands-on activities.Ĭall before you go and see if there will be a field trip from a school the day you want to go, or when they are scheduled to be there. Joined the Association so no cost to enter and it’s really reasonable. Took my 8 and 5 year old granddaughters here and they had a ball playing with the hands-on science experiments.
