Eugene Science Center, Science museum in Eugene, Oregon, United States.

The Eugene Science Center is a 10,000-square-foot (930 m2) science and technology museum in Alton Baker Park, near Autzen Stadium. It holds an exhibit hall with permanent and changing displays, an outdoor science park with large interactive experiences, and a planetarium seating 85 people, refitted in 2018 with a laser-phosphor projector giving full-dome 4k projection.

The museum started in 1961 as the Southwest Oregon Museum of Science and Industry before moving to Alton Baker Park in 1980. This relocation allowed the facility to expand and serve the community from a larger space.

The center's name traces a chain of renamings: founded in 1961 as the Southwest Oregon Museum of Science and Industry, it became the Willamette Science and Technology Center, then The Science Factory in 2002, and Eugene Science Center in January 2018. Its Community Room, converted from a conference room in 2017, is open to the public during regular museum hours.

Weekday visits tend to be less crowded, giving more time to explore the displays and activities at your own pace. Plan to spend 1 to 2 hours depending on your interests, especially if you want to catch a planetarium show.

The planetarium's original projector failed in March 2017; after months of fundraising, a laser-phosphor projector giving full-dome 4k projection was installed in August 2018. The museum also occupies a building in Alton Baker Park that the City of Eugene took ownership of in the mid-1980s.
