OUR MISSION
PacSci ignites curiosity in every child and fuels a passion for discovery, experimentation, and critical thinking in all of us.
COMMITMENT TO ANTI-RACISM
Pacific Science Center stands with those who are courageously fighting against hate, racism, and injustice. We recognize that not being racist is not sufficient.

Curiosity and critical thinking are essential to the dialogue and changes that need to happen.
