Be a Part of our journey beyond 75

Over the next three years, more than 15,000 square feet of exhibit space at Adventure Science Center will evolve into more exciting experiences, breathing new life into our mission: to open every mind to the wonders of science and technology, fostering a better understanding of ourselves and the world around us. While we will continue to celebrate our significant history, we are focused on the future that will take us Beyond 75.

Adventure Science Center is an equitable, non-profit center for hands-on learning, serving nearly 400,000 guests each year, and providing free or reduced admission to more than 25,000 members from under-represented communities. Support from the community allows the science center to significantly lower the cost barrier for school students and provide access to educational programming that enriches their learning experiences and offers them the opportunity to discover new interests, talents, and possibilities in the realm of STEAM. In the spring of 2022, Adventure Science Center welcomed over 32,000 students on field trips.
