While we are temporarily closed to the public, the California Science Center is committed to supporting our community with free online science learning opportunities. Our Stuck at Home Science hands-on activity series is designed for children and families to explore, investigate and have fun learning together without leaving home. To make these resources accessible to everyone, and prepare to reopen our doors, we need your help more than ever.

The closure will include all California Science Center exhibitions, IMAX films, events and programs. We will keep our community informed of further updates by email, on our website and through Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
