Our Planet, Our Universe
Seminole State College Planetarium Director Derek J. Demeter
In this presentation and Q&A, visitors will learn about astrophotography, our ability to see the sky today, the impact of light pollution and how places like our national parks protect the last true dark places in this country.
National Parks Adventure
Dr. Phillips CineDome
Narrated by Academy Award winner Robert Redford, this giant screen film takes you on the ultimate off-trail adventure into our nation’s awe-inspiring great outdoors and untamed wilderness. Soar over red rock canyons, hurtle up craggy mountain peaks and dive into other-worldly realms deep within America’s most legendary outdoor playgrounds, including Yellowstone, Glacier National Park, Yosemite, and Arches.
Fusion: A STEAM Gallery
Mezzanine Art Gallery on Level 3
Immerse yourself in works developed at the intersection of art and technology with the newest addition to the Science Center’s permanent exhibits. Discover Fusion: A STEAM Gallery, which integrates the arts into the STEM curriculum (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) and features exhibitions to engage audiences with a visual interpretation of these concepts. Now on display, “THE 2016 UCF STEAM EXHIBITION – When Art and Science Meet,” featuring works created by the students of UCF CREATE.
Star Gazing
Crosby Observatory
Visitors will also enjoy peering up into the night sky through the 10-inch refractor telescope — one of the largest in the state available to the public. View moons, planets and deep sky objects such as galaxies, nebulas and more. Interact with astronomy experts who will help you get the best views of the next sky over Orlando. This activity is weather-permitting.
Access to Four Floors of Exhibits
Indulge in all four floors of exhibits including “NatureWorks”; “Science Park”; “Idea Factory;” “Engineer It!”; “Our Planet, Our Universe”; and “DinoDigs”; plus try hands-on experiment in Dr. Dare’s Laboratory. Then, fire up your brain and get your competitive juices flowing with some bar-style science trivia! Test your science knowledge in several categories to win prizes!
Food & Beverage
Food and adult beverages will be available for purchase courtesy of Hard Rock Café, which will be featuring select items from their award-winning menu. Cash or credit cards are accepted and ATMs are on-site for your convenience.
