Bringing the physical and natural world to your fingertips

The Imaginarium Discovery Center is Alaska’s hands-on, minds-on science discovery center, a place where families and visitors of all ages can explore art, history and science through play.

The new 9,000-square-foot center features more than 80 exhibits, including even bigger and better versions of the Imaginarium's most beloved features, as well as renowned exhibits from the world's best science museums. About 25 percent of exhibits at the museum were conceived specifically for the Imaginarium Discovery Center.

Simulated earthquakes and auroras. Live animal touch tanks and interactive exhibits that blend technology and art. All of these and more are presented in six unique areas:
