Arizona Science Center in Phoenix, Arizona, United States | Science Centre

The mission of Arizona Science Center in Phoenix, Southwestern, United States, is to inspire, educate and entertain people of all ages about science.
Arizona Science Center in Phoenix, Southwestern, formerly the Arizona Museum of Science & Technology, was conceived in 1980 as a pilot science center by the Junior League of Phoenix. Incorporated as a private, non-profit corporation in 1982, the Arizona Science Center opened its doors to the public in 1984 as a small 10,000 square foot storefront exhibition space located in the parking garage level of the downtown Phoenix Hyatt. The museum saw more than 87,000 visitors during its first year of operations and reached more than 750,000 children and adults during its 13-year history. Some of the original hands-on exhibits are still found in the Arizona Science Center today.
The Arizona Science Center began its revitalization recently with the installation of IMAX technology in its Irene P. Flinn Theater, enabling the Science Center to feature outstanding films such as Deep Sea 3D and The Polar Express. We are excited to continue our capital and endowment program through renovations to our Dorrance Planetarium, which will include state-of-the-art projection and sound systems, cosmetic enhancements and additional seating.
