The Science Center of Iowa is a science-focused learning center with several interactive galleries and learning labs, a planetarium, and a state-of-the-art IMAX cinema. Opened in 1970 as the Des Moines Center of Science and Industry, the Science Center of Iowa features a variety of informative and interactive science-based exhibits and displays where visitors can explore the cosmos, discover some of Iowa’s native animals, build a rocket, and create a stop-motion animation video. The Brick by Brick exhibit features spectacular LEGO®-built structures and offers hands-on building challenges that bring architecture, engineering, and construction to life. The Science Center's planetarium has a 50-foot display and presents a range of shows throughout the year.
