The mission of the Children’s Science Explorium is to inspire an appreciation and understanding of science by providing an environment and programs that stimulate a child’s natural curiosity.

The Explorium works to achieve the mission by providing:

  • fun, interactive, and kid-friendly exhibits that relate to everyday experiences with the physical sciences.
  • a diverse array of programming, including formal education programs, after school and weekend programming, Scout workshops, summer science camps, parent/child programs, and teacher trainings.
  • staff who are creative, friendly, and knowledgeable to share their enthusiasm for science with visitors.
  • inquiry-based learning opportunities, where children are encouraged to explore and make their own discoveries, making it a more personal and lasting experience for all guests.
