Sci-Port, Science center in Shreveport, Louisiana.
Sci-Port is a science center in Shreveport with multiple exhibition floors, a planetarium, and an IMAX theater. The spaces feature interactive exhibits and displays covering different areas of science for visitors of all ages.
The center started as a small science museum and grew over time into a larger facility with expanded exhibits. The planetarium and IMAX theater were added later, significantly broadening what the venue could offer.
Sci-Port's name is a contraction of "Science Port," and its IMAX Dome Theatre is one of the few domed screens in the region, showing films on a tilted dome rather than a flat wall. School groups from across northwest Louisiana book the center for field trips tied to classroom science units.
Visitors should note that hours vary between weekdays and weekends, so checking ahead is helpful for planning a visit. The location is easily accessible and well-marked, with parking available and clear signage to guide you around.
The planetarium's dome seats visitors under a 60-foot span, and its projector throws more than 9,000 stars onto it, so constellations appear in their true relative brightness. Shows pair the night sky over Shreveport with narrated tours of the seasonal constellations.
