  • Kids can climb into a retired police helicopter, try on police gear and get “locked” in a real jail cell where adults can snap their own free police booking photos.

  • In addition, a new permanent exhibition related to the Onion Field murders will be available for viewing as well as other permanent exhibits on Patty Hearst and the 1997 North Hollywood Shootout.
