Eugene Science Center

Near University Inn & Suites Eugene, the Eugene Science Center provides an enjoyable and educational experience for the entire family. Situated in Alton Baker Park near Autzen Stadium, this hands-on science and technology museum has more than 10,000 square feet of exhibit space, a planetarium, and interactive programs including camps and events. A non-profit association manages this facility to encourage young people to discover and appreciate science and technology.

Initially established in 1961 as the Southwest Oregon Museum of Science and Industry, the facility has since expanded to include The Tot Spot nursery area for those under 5 years of age, and a community room in which people can rest and take refreshments. The Eugene Science Center continues to be one of the region's best family-oriented tourist sites, with an interactive and interesting experience awaiting all who visit.
