Arizona Science Center

The Science Center began its revitalization with the installation of IMAX technology in its Irene P. Flinn Theater, enabling it to feature outstanding films such as Deep Sea 3D, Grand Canyon Adventure 3D and The Polar Express. The all new Dorrance Planetarium includes a NanoSeam Dome and Digistar3 projection and sound capabilities, making Arizona Science Center the only one of its kind in the world with this technology. Forces of Nature, My Digital World and Get Charged Up! are permanent exhibition galleries that ensure Arizona Science Center remains a vital and relevant resource for our schools, teachers and familes.
