The Michigan Science Center is Detroit's premiere science and technology museum, formed following the closure of the Detroit Science Center in 2011.

The museum, which was opened to the public the following year, is home to Michigan's only Chrysler IMAX Dome Theatre, along with venues such as the DTE Energy Sparks Theater and the Dassault Systèmes Planetarium. Exhibit galleries showcase more than 250 hands-on exhibits for young visitors, focusing on space, engineering, health, and physical science topics.

Other attractions include the museum's Chrysler Science Stage, which showcases educational performances, and the Toyota Engineering 4D Theater, which showcases 4D screenings of films such as National Geographic's "Extreme Weather."
