about The Detroit Science Center:
From hands-on science demonstrations to a planetarium and IMAX Dome Theater, the Detroit Science Center is a wonderland of family fun.
The general admission price includes science stage presentations, DTE Energy Sparks Theater demonstrations, and all of the exhibit labs, which includes lots of hands-on activities. One IMAX film and planetarium shows are also included.
Kids Town designed for kids five and under, features a pint-sized diner, a center stage for dress up performances, a watertable, and a family area where you and your kids can work on a computer or read together.
There are traveling science programs and workshops as well - yes, Science Center educators will come to you! And check this out: There's something called the STARLAB, an inflatable, portable planetarium that can be brought to your location for a guided tour of the current sky using the STARLAB's star projector.
Parties: Three Science Center birthday party packages are available. All include two hours of reserved space, a t-shirt for the birthday child, and a host or hostess. A two-week advance reservation is required.
Summer science camps (for grades 1-6) and Scout workshops and sleepovers are offered.
Lockers are available on the second floor. Before exploring the center, unload your group's coats and hats and extra stuff - everyone will be more comfortable.
An onsite cafe will feed your little scientists, and the Science Center's gift shop will have them begging for take-homes. Of course the merchandise is on the pricey side, but there are some really neat items. An ATM is located in the main level lobby.
Annual family membership is $70. Membership includes admission to the Detroit Science Center and the Detroit Children's Museum for an entire year.

tips:
Grab a visitor's guide at the front desk and take a few minutes to read about all of the offerings and schedule of events. It'll help you prioritize and organize the day so that everyone sees what they want in the time that you have.
getting there:
Located in Detroit's Cultural Center, on the northeast corner of E. Warren and John R. From I-75, take the E. Warren exit and head west. The center will be on your right. If you hit Woodward, you've gone too far.
