Gulfcoast Wonder & Imagination Zone, Science museum in Sarasota, Florida, US
The Gulfcoast Wonder & Imagination Zone featured interactive exhibits about physics, biology, and earth sciences across multiple dedicated learning spaces.
Opening in 2000 after relocating from the Florida West Coast Symphony building, the museum operated in a former library building until September 2012.
The museum provided educational programs and scientific discovery opportunities for students, families, and visitors through hands-on learning experiences.
The facility housed the Blivas Science & Technology Center and offered over 100 programs tailored to different age groups near Sarasota Bay.
The building, designed by Walter Netsch, incorporated Field Theory architectural elements before its demolition in 2019 for The Bay development project.
