Maryland Science Center

The Maryland Science Center, opened on Baltimore’s Inner Harbor in 1976, helped transform the harbor from an industrial waterfront into a major downtown destination. A nonprofit museum, it has grown through additions including an IMAX theater in 1987 and a major expansion in 2004 that strengthened its interactive, hands-on approach to science learning. Its exhibits cover physical science, space, the human body, motion, energy, light, mathematics, and engineering for children and general audiences. Notable features include Dinosaur Mysteries, the Davis Planetarium, Science on a Sphere, live demonstration programs, and awards and scholarships that support scientific and educational achievement across Maryland.
