Pacific Science Center

Ignite Curiosity. Expand Access. Power Possibility.

Pacific Science Center (PacSci) is where curiosity comes to life. As a nonprofit science center in Seattle, we create hands-on, immersive experiences that inspire people of all ages to explore, question, and discover the world around them.

Every year, hundreds of thousands of guests step onto our campus, and many more connect through classrooms and community programs across Washington. Each one gains access to science in ways that feel welcoming, relevant, and inspiring.

Open Doors to Science for All 

Access is at the heart of everything we do. With your support, PacSci removes barriers so more families and students can experience the power of science, regardless of income or background. Your support ensures science is not just available, but truly accessible.

• Over 154,000 students reached through field trips, Science on Wheels, and digital programs
• 69% of students served at low or no cost, prioritizing low-income communities
• Expanded access through free days, Access Memberships, and sensory-friendly experiences

Spark the Next Generation of Innovators

At PacSci, science is not something you just observe. It is something you do. From hands-on experiments to real-world connections with scientists and STEM professionals, we create moments that help young people see themselves in science. These experiences build confidence, curiosity, and a sense of belonging that can shape futures.

Create Impact That Reaches Beyond Our Walls

PacSci’s impact extends far beyond our campus. Through partnerships with schools, educators, and community organizations, we bring high-quality STEM learning directly to where it is needed most, including urban, rural, and underserved communities. Every program delivered, every student reached, and every family welcomed is part of a larger mission to build a more curious, connected, and empowered world.

None of this happens without you. Your GiveBIG support fuels hands-on learning, expands access, and ensures that every child has the opportunity to explore, discover, and dream through science.
