• If a Starfish Can Grow a New Arm, Why Can’t I?
• Frogs!
• Careers for Life

• SimMan—A lifelike man which helps health care professionals learn how to take care of their patients
• Dr. Dare’s Lab: Perform hundreds of your own experiments
• Science on a Sphere: Look at the Earth in a whole new way
• H2O Now: Interactive exhibits featuring one of our most precious resources

The Orlando Science Center is open seven days a week with extended hours on Saturdays. It’s a favorite with tourists and locals alike. General admission includes: Special engagement touring exhibits, entry to all four floors of interactive exhibit galleries, giant screen films and planetarium shows in the Dr. Phillips CineDome, and live science programming throughout the Center.
