Pet a 12-foot python. Fire an air cannon. Create your own laser show. To satisfy your curiosity about physical science, this is the place to go.
Science comes alive at the Carl A. and Peggy J. Bluedorn Science Imaginarium, a three-floor, interactive science center. Here, hands-on exhibits show how science affects your everyday life. Science Demonstrations get you even more involved in the action, and show you how exciting science can be. [see current schedule]
