CSI: The Experience

Elaine came up with the idea to get a group together to check out the CSI: The Experience exhibit at the California Science Center. Being a superfan of CSI, I immediately said yes and started recruiting people to join us. Max, Vina, Eddy and Joanna (after a threatening phone call) indulged in our inner geeks and joined us for the event.

We met for lunch first at Wako. My bright idea to order an extra cheese set for the table to share put us all over the top in level of fullness. We could barely walk afterwards.

The CSI experience was actually designed for kids but we had fun with it.

We all started at the crime scene, looking for clues.





Apparently my observational skills are not up to par with those of a 10-year old. I had to use the cheat sheet at the exit to make sure I had everything.


Vina and Aai at the fingerprint station.


The labs had informational posters and signs explaining the CSI process and the scientific methods behind all of the labs.


CSI Vina looking through a microscope to identify a larvae state.


The older, more thorough group was falling a little behind. Here is Max using an old school magnifying glass to identify a fingerprint.


So fun!


Elaine getting the medical examiner's report.


The younger, faster but less accurate team completes their report.


The older, slower but more thorough team is next. 3 out of 3 right!


Grissom congratulates the team on work well done.


We are done, and leave with our CSI reports in hand.
