I am traveling via motor home from Florida. I was told that the exibit had closed in San Diego in 2008 and was to be moved to San Francisco. Told by the Air and Space museum in San Diego. If that is true can you tell me where in San Francisco it is open and how long it will be there??

I am hoping to be in the San Francisco area about the first of August. Would appreciate any information available.

Is this worth taking a plane to go see?? And how long do they give you to hang around on the bridge??

I just saw it, and it was amazing. The stuff was handpicked before the Christie’s auction, and so is the best stuff before they sold the rest. All the props, costumes etc. are original and amazing. The original sets were never kept at the time (TV shows don’t keep them), and in fact were never built in one full immersive experience like this at the time (shooting TV never works like that, they only need what is directly in front of the camera, not around and behind) so this actually looks better than anything made at the time. Anything that did survive by way of original set parts has been integrated. It looks awesome.

This was a refined and improved experience compared to Long Beach, it had more of a flow to it, less chaotic, and I liked it a lot better than Star Trek: The Tour. There is stuff in this one that The Tour didn’t have. And how cool is it to have real spacecraft like Apollo 9 there too.

If we want Star Trek to survive we need to get in our cars / planes / whatever and get down there and support it. I plan on going back a lot!!

Is there any cost for the pic on the bridge?? what are some of the other items within the tour which cost additional $$?? It would have been nice to have the ORIGINAL BRIDGE probably in a landfill by now.

This looks very much like the Star Trek exhibition that came to the Science Museum in London a number of years ago. Naturally I dragged my daughter along with me to see it, she was too young at the time to say ‘no’ !

It was fun, but to be honest I had hoped for more. For example an entire original bridge would have been nice, rather than the cut-away we had. Some kind of interactive segment on the bridge would have been really cool, with a few actors intermingled with the punters on the bridge.
Sort of like the ‘Alien Experience’ that travelled around the UK a few years ago, where you got to be rescued by the Colonial Marines and led around a maze of corridors to the drop ship and see the marines get picked off one by one by the aliens. That was a lot of fun.

I don’t know how big San Diego is but 1000 people on an opening day does sound a poor turnout by any standard.

Call me cynical, but I think that Paramount are trying to find ways to drum up interest for the new movie while spending as little as possible.
Of course I could be completely wrong, as indeed I often am…

I went on Saturday. It was a little crowded, but I got to spend lots of time studying the ship models up close. They did rush me a little through the TOS Enterprise bridge, but I snuck back later when there was a lull in the crowds. There’s something about sitting in that Captain’s Chair that you just can’t describe.
