Adventure Science Center, Science museum in Nashville, United States.
Adventure Science Center is a science museum in Nashville featuring more than 175 hands-on exhibits that visitors can explore and interact with. These displays cover biology, astronomy, physics, earth science, energy, weather, and space, allowing people to learn by doing rather than just observing.
The institution was founded more than 75 years ago to serve Middle Tennessee with science education. Over the decades, it grew into one of the region's major centers for scientific learning and discovery.
The center provides reduced or free admission to thousands of visitors each year, making science accessible to families regardless of their budget. School groups from Nashville benefit from complimentary visits that support classroom learning.
The center is located on Fort Negley Boulevard and opens at 9 AM on most days, though closing times vary between weekday and weekend visits. Check ahead before going to confirm current hours, as schedules can change seasonally.
The facility houses the Sudekum Planetarium, featuring a large dome theater that presents astronomy shows and laser displays throughout the year. This separate experience within the museum offers something distinct from the regular exhibits and draws visitors seeking a more immersive show.
