Admission $4.50
Free public parking located in the Civic Center parking structure.
The Professor's home...7500 square feet of it, cluttered with hands-on inventions, gadgets, experiments...and kids won't even know they're learning as they play! Located in the heart of Old Town Temecula, Southern California (a great place to visit, by the way), Pennypickle's Workshop (formerly called the Imagination Workshop) has already won a THEA award from the Themed Entertainment Association, representing creators of compelling places and experiences, and two awards from the California Park and Recreation Society.
Pennypickle's Workshop is so much fun, sometimes kids (and their parents) never want to leave! Since the Professor's house is pretty big (but not THAT big), he decided that the best way for everyone to enjoy his crazy hands-on gadgets is to break up the day into sessions. You do not need to register in advance to come to a session.
Tuesday - Saturday:
Session I: 10a-12p
Session II: 12:30p-2:30p
Session III: 3p-5p
Science Adventures: 5:30p-7:30p (Fridays only)
Sunday:
Session I: 12:30p-2:30p
