Orlando Science Center

The Orlando Science Center provides an exciting interactive, educational experience for both children and adults.

Permanent exhibits at the Orlando Science Center include DinoDigs, where visitors can see fossil replicas of dinosaurs and prehistoric sea animals, and Science Park, where they can learn about lasers, electricity, magnetism, light and sound.

At Orlando Science Center's Science Park, you can take a simulated flight on an F1-11 or F-16 and learn what causes earthquakes, hurricanes and tornadoes. Science Park also features live shows and demonstrations.

Science stations, which are located throughout the science center, use live programs to provide in depth looks at various topics.

NatureWorks Gallery enables visitors to learn more about Central Florida's ecosystems. Here, you will be able to learn about the animal and plant life on salt marshes, coral reefs and cypress swamps.

Smaller children can explore Kids Town, a miniature town where they can learn about scientific concepts through hands-on experiences and role-playing. For example, they can pick and sort oranges at Orange Grove Factory or build dams at the Water Table.

Kids Town is designed for children under 4 feet tall.

In addition to the permanent exhibits, the Orlando Science Center always has many touring exhibits to among its four floors of exhibit space.

The largest publicly accessible refractor telescope can be found at Crosby Observatory.

Planetarium shows can be seen at a 310-feet domed theatre, which features an 8,000 square foot screen.
