Orlando Science Center, Orlando

The Orlando Science Center is one of the best interactive science complexes in the United States. It became part of the Central Florida Museum in 1955 and opened in Orlando Loch Haven Park in 1960. The center makes science fun for kids and adults. Field trips, family science nights, workshops, interactive exhibits, and movies are just some of the treats you will enjoy when you visit.

The four-floor complex houses 10 presentations and has one of the state’s largest refractor telescopes. In addition, the 207,000 square foot building has many display spaces, an observatory, a theater, a café, and a store that has science-themed gifts and memorabilia.

A wide range of exhibits and multimedia presentations ensure that the needs of all will be met.
