Impression 5 Science Center
Impression 5 Science Center, Science museum in downtown Lansing, Michigan, US.
Description
Impression 5 Science Center is a science museum housed in a former industrial warehouse along the riverfront in Lansing. The facility features numerous hands-on exhibits where children and families explore scientific concepts by conducting their own experiments and manipulating objects to see results.
History
The center was founded in 1972 and converted an old warehouse building into a venue for hands-on learning. This transformation repurposed industrial infrastructure that had become vacant and gave it new life as an educational resource.
Culture
The center creates spaces where visitors directly engage with scientific concepts through their own actions and discoveries. Exhibits are designed so that people learn by doing rather than observing from a distance.
Practical
The building is located downtown near the riverfront with convenient parking nearby that is free on weekends. Most visitors find it easy to navigate, with clear signage and level access to most exhibit areas.
Did you know?
The facility runs a retail program that offers visitors educational materials to take home. Through these items, families can continue their discoveries and deepen learning concepts once they leave.
