The California Science Center is a world renowned science museum whose mission it is to stimulate curiosity and inspire science learning in everyone. Since opening in February 1998, we received more than 18 million visitors. The California Science Center provides a rare model for science learning by combining exhibits with an on-site Science Center School and Amgen Center for Science Learning as well as a teacher professional development program. In March of 2010, Ecosystems was debuted, an exhibit which explores the varied ecosystems of land and sea and discovers how the physical and living worlds are connected and shaped by the same fundamental ecological principles.
