Visitor Information

Description: 
Kids can do it all at Science City, where imagination meets technology. The science center is a family-friendly destination with more than 50 interactive displays.

Travel to new dimensions at the Planetarium. A 360-degree domed screen takes visitors on an out-of-this-world tour of the sky and stars. The Dino Lab is a busy workshop of honest-to-goodness scientists studying real dinosaur fossils. Kids can even earn "micronaut" status aboard the International Space Station and explore the lifelike tunnels of a human blood vessel. A single ticket gets you full-day access to exhibits, shows, and movies.
