Pacific Science Center has been inspiring creative, critical thinking among Washington residents and visitors from around the globe since the 1962 World’s Fair. Dr. Dixy Lee Ray, an early director, set the vision for our institution: “We would pioneer a great experiment to show that the essence and aims of science could be widely appreciated in the general population.” This vision catalyzed our first 50 years.
Science can inspire everyone’s hopes and dreams in any field. Pacific Science Center provides the experiences that stimulate ongoing inquiry, fueling the innovation our future demands. All over Washington, people of all ages are hungry for these kinds of experiences, which is why we’re expanding our award-winning programs and creating new ones.
I’ve been a couple times with the children and it’s reasonably wheelchair friendly.
