Drake Planetarium and Science Center, Science education center in Norwood, Ohio, United States.
The Drake Planetarium and Science Center uses spaces across two school buildings in Norwood and presents astronomy shows along with scientific exhibits. The facility spans two floors and focuses on interactive learning experiences.
The facility was founded in 1987 to strengthen scientific knowledge among students in the Norwood City School District. Since then it has served as a core part of education in the region.
The center provides students with hands-on experiences exploring astronomy and interactive displays that spark scientific interest. These offerings shape how many young people in the area learn about science.
The location on Sherman Avenue offers free parking on the street and in municipal lots at the east end of the campus. Visitors should know the facility is part of the school grounds and may have restricted access during certain times.
The center operates a portable planetarium service that travels to different locations and reaches schools that might otherwise have limited access. This mobile program extends scientific education far beyond the main campus.
