The Discovery Science Center leadership, staff, volunteers, and community have been working to bring and exciting, new, science and space center to Sacramento.
The Powerhouse Science Center will be the premier science & space learning center serving Northern California. It will serve as a model for 21st-century experiential education in science, math, technology, engineering, and space — and an exemplary “green” building that serves as an environmental teaching lab.
Located on the Sacramento River in the River District, the historic PG&E Power Station is the first-choice location because the Power Station's position on the riverfront is highly visible, creating greater awareness of the Center.
The Powerhouse Science Center will feature generous exhibit space for current and traveling exhibits as well as a newly expanded and updated Planetarium & Challenger Learning Center. Movies, laser shows, and astronomy programs, a café with outdoor seating and more will be part of the Powerhouse Science Center.
