Michigan Science Center

Hands-on science museum with planetarium and IMAX

Address 5020 John R St, Detroit, MI 48202

The Michigan Science Center is the city's main hands-on museum for families, with more than 250 interactive exhibits across physics, biology, space, and the environment. The Toyota 4D Theater, the Dassault Systèmes Planetarium, and a four-storey IMAX with one of the largest screens in the state add to the basic admission. The Fatberg, a chunk of fused fat and rags pulled from Detroit's sewers, has its own display case and has become a strange museum favourite.

The building is part of the Midtown cultural cluster opposite the Detroit Institute of Arts. Closed Mondays.
