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 museum takes its name from the Adventure Tower, a 75-foot climbing structure inside the building. Its exhibits are grouped by theme, from biology and physics to air and space, energy and earth science, and the Sudekum Planetarium runs astronomy shows. The site on Old Saint Cloud Hill, the ground of Fort Negley during the Civil War, ties the museum to Nashville's own past.

The center sits on Fort Negley Boulevard on Old Saint Cloud Hill, south of downtown Nashville, on the ground of the Civil War's Fort Negley. Exhibits fill 44,000 square feet, with the 75-foot adventure tower and the Sudekum Planetarium under the same roof. Allow time for both the exhibit halls and a planetarium show.

The Sudekum Planetarium opened in 1952 as the museum's first planetarium, when the institution was still the Children's Museum of Nashville. It is one of the features that moved with the museum to Old Saint Cloud Hill in 1974, the site of Fort Negley during the American Civil War.
