Thread: Star Trek Exhibit: San Jose, CA

Started 1 month, 3 weeks ago by docrice
I've been considering this and was thinking of going either today or tomorrow, but haven't seen much feedback on it so far. Anyone go to the San Jose one yet? Is it worth the $25? I love Trek, but $25 is a bit steep these days.

Re: Star Trek Exhibit: San Jose, CA Go. If you don't, you'll end up thinking "I should have paid the $25. If you go and don't like it, you'll say "Shit. I blew $25 on that!?

Well, ended up going because I had to. It's not often that a Star Trek exhibit passes through the area. It was cool, but not "great" in my opinion. I stayed for an hour and it was fun getting a close-up look at some things: the 2'x2'x2' Borg cube model, the rebuilt TOS bridge (which seems smaller than the actual set used on the series and wasn't "exact" but close enough for good ...

I just went to the one in Hollywood a couple of weeks ago. They had different exhibits than you described. We played on the bridge of the Ent-D. It sounds like they took the Star Trek exhibit from a couple of years ago, and split it up for a "light" version. It was still fun to take the kids and share it with them. Unfortunately, my 6 and 4 year olds weren't too impressed.

Sounds a little disappointing, but I'm still going (next Saturday, with a small meetup group). Anyone care to join me? $25 is steep if it's as sparse as described - I wonder why they couldn't just make a new exhibit covering the whole history of Trek, rather than just pulling out a few old models and props? Should still be interesting to see what's there, though.
