What you can expect during your visit:

  • Once you enter the building, stop by the front desk to purchase your admission and receive your wristband for the day. You will have all-day access up to one hour before closing. The last tickets are sold one hour before closing, and no one will be let in after that time.
  • We do not allow food or drink inside the Science Center; your wristband will allow you to take breaks at your leisure.
  • The Science Center is self-guided, but the staff will happily answer your questions. Currently, all programming is included with admission.
  • Parties with children under 14 years of age must stay together at all times for their safety. If your party has multiple children, we enforce a ratio of 1 adult (16 plus) to 10 children.
  • The Science Center is a learning environment. We ask guests to use their inside voices and not to run while in the center so everyone can have a safe and enjoyable time in the Science Center.
