Located in Orlando, Florida, interactive learning and discovery await within the center’s hundreds of exhibits, programs and labs, and giant screen films. The Science Center provides educational opportunities both within and outside the center’s walls, including field trips, family science nights at schools and community centers and other outreach.
The Science Center was incorporated in 1955 as the Central Florida Museum and opened in Orlando Loch Haven Park in 1960. The new facility opened in 1997 with four floors of exhibit space, an observatory, a giant screen domed theater for films and planetarium shows, a café, a store and much more. The facility was created by traditional museum exhibit designers and fabricators, as well as theme park designers and fabricators. These creative professionals worked with the Science Center staff to pioneer innovative exhibit environments for immersive guest experiences.
