Located on West Main Street on Louisville’s “Museum Row” in the West Main District of downtown, the Kentucky Science Center is the largest hands-on science museum in the state of Kentucky.
Founded in 1871, the center was formerly known as the Louisville Museum of Natural History & Sciences and then as the Louisville Science Center. The center is made up of two adjacent buildings.
If you are looking for fun things to do in Louisville, Kentucky with kids, the Kentucky Science Center is a great place to visit.
The 150,000 square foot main building was built in 1878 as a dry goods warehouse. The second building, the 37,000 square foot Alexander Building, was built in 1880. Today, the center features a four story digital theater, a Science Education Wing with hands-on workshop labs, and three floors of interactive exhibits.
