Why Kids ♥ It

Touch a Triceratops bone, change the color of fire, type out messages in Morse code, and more! Hands-on activities and experiments with OMSI educators make science learning a blast (sometimes literally)! Teens can get creative in the Teen Tech Center, a space exclusively for teens 13-18 years old.

Why Parents ♥ It

Rotating exhibits, a planetarium, chemistry lab, paleontology lab, physics lab, and life sciences lab, giant-screen theater, PLUS a real life submarine to tour – there is something for everyone!
