Cade Museum for Creativity and Invention

The Cade Museum is a science museum in Gainesville devoted to creativity and invention. The building has a shell-like design with large windows bringing natural light to interactive exhibits, laboratories, and workshop spaces.

The museum was founded by the family of Dr. James Robert Cade, inventor of the sports drink Gatorade. The Cade Museum Foundation was established in 2004 to create this place for learning and invention.

The museum showcases how inventors from science and business collaborate and create today. Visitors encounter presentations and meetings where real inventors share their work and discoveries.

The museum offers workshops, summer camps, and programs tailored for different age groups. Hands-on activities let visitors learn through experimentation and explore their own ideas.

Visitors can explore a preserved laboratory where Dr. Cade himself worked. Among modern exhibits stands a 160-year-old Gutenberg printing press, showing how old and new inventions sit side by side.
