Visit
There is a lot to see and do at the science center. However, some of our programs and experiences may have changed as a result of the impacts of COVID-19 and our recent water damage. This includes the configuration of our exhibits.
We want to make your visit as safe and as enjoyable as possible. The Michigan Science Center is Checked by NSF for compliance with sanitation standards. We have pledged to protect your health with Detroit Metro Convention & Visitors Bureau’s Go Safely Initiative.
