Find out whats going on at The new Detroit Science Center


Detroit Science Center

The New Detroit Science Center is another place that is part of Detroit's cultural District. After some remodeling completed in 2001, it is now better than ever with fun for the whole family, especially the kids. Like the Belle Isle Nature Zoo, it's one of my favorite Detroit attractions. The Science Center has many interactive exhibits for you to take interest in during your visit. There is plenty of hands on things for you to do. You can find many exhibits and activities focusing on physics, gravity, sound, and much more.

Also do not think that you or your kids have to be a science buff to enjoy it at the science center. Even if science holds no particularly great interest to you, you will be amazed at the demonstrations of how some of the basic things that we take for granted everyday such as sound, gravity, electricity, and much much more. The major exhibits change frequently so check their website to make sure will still be able to catch the exhibit you want to see.

Oh yeah did I mention that they have Michigan's only dome IMAX theatre? It's perfect for the many films that they show and the dome effect really takes the movie watching experience to another level. Other things you can find at the science center are a planetarium, a science hall, the Ford Learning Resource Center, a special events lobby, and much more. Oh and of course it wouldn't be complete without a gift shop so make sure to get some souvenirs for your loved ones ;) The summer hours are as follows:

Monday - Friday

9am - 5pm

Saturday and Sunday

10am - 6pm General admission for adults is $7.95 and $6.95 for children and seniors. Children under the age of 2 get in free.

New Fall '08 Exhibits

The Leonardo Da Vinci: Man, Inventor, Genius opens October 4th at the Science Center. This should be an exciting exhibit for you and if you have kids to check out. Da Vinci was one of the greatest minds of all time. Visitors will be able to interact with many of the displays in the exhibit dealing with of course, math, science, and physics. Sounds like great fun :) If you want to add the exhibit to your list of things to visit in the museum, your cost for getting in will be $16.95 for adults and $13.95 for children and seniors. For more info on their combo packages and current exhibits such as Shipwrecked!, go to their official website.
