National Science Center

The National Science Center in Augusta, Georgia is dedicated to teaching visitors about science with a variety of different exhibits. Admission into the center is $8 for adults and $6 for seniors, military, and children. Children under four can enter for free. The planetarium is an additional $2. Anyone who wishes to experience the Paul S. Simon Discovery Theater can enter for free with an all day National Science Center pass. Groups and school rates will differ based on the number of students.

The museum is open Thursday through Saturday from 10am to 5pm. They also close on major holidays. Since it is the mission of the NSC to teach students they work to promote science and mathematics through educational displays and camps. The general gallery offers the Riverfront Plaza and Balcony for the beginning of a scientific and technological journey. The center moves groups into the Martian Towers which is a 22 foot tall climbing structure with a space theme. From there guests can enjoy the Knox Gallery with traveling exhibits, special programs, and presentations.

Math, Motion and Momentum Gallery is next before groups arrive in the power generation gallery. On the lower level everyday technology and the Robotics gallery ends the adventure. There is an upper level too.
