We welcome those who love science, those who are curious about science and those who want to learn more about the Maryland Science Center.

The new year certainly falls into a difficult time for all of us but we view this challenging adventure as positive thing, so you can bet your beakers that we’ll have bigger and better goodies in store no matter what.

Keep checking back for frequent posts that will outline family-friendly events here at the Science Center (think: Darwin’s Birthday Party, Love You Day, Earth Day, Bubble Days and more!) as well as new engagements for grown-ups only.

The Maryland Science Center is famous for being able to show the fun in science but the underlying foundation of our establishment is education. We strive for that perfect blend of exciting and educational and are constantly looking for ways to serve it up perfectly. To achieve this, we must first start with facts and research! Our expert staff will post regularly about science progress in the news and we encourage your comments! Look for discussions on topics like global warming and going green, the truth about stem cells, space milestones, human health and paleontology, for example. The sky is the limit (and we have the Observatory to prove it)!

We as a staff feel that it’s crucial to establish a stronger relationship with you, our visitors, and this blog is the first step. So please, take a peek around and make yourselves at home. We hope you’ll stop by often!

The Maryland Science Center sparkles in the evening, beckoning visitors and welcoming progress!
