Our vision is simple yet profound: to provide a dynamic, hands-on environment where children from all walks of life can immerse themselves in a world of learning, experimentation, and discovery. Through interactive exhibits and engaging educational programs, we’re not just teaching children about science, arts, technology, and agriculture—we’re inspiring them to pursue these fields as lifelong passions.

Science

Understanding how the physical world works is imperative to preserving our planet. Engage in Chemistry, Physics, Space, Engineering, and more.

Without the imagination, investigation and improvisation does not exist. Art is a critical part of the human experience. Come nurture it.

Technology

Futuristic exposure. Explore cutting edge ideas and features. Develop interest in progressing our society through invention.

Agriculture

Learn about native plants, sustainability, and careers in horticulture. Learn how critical our contributions to feeding America really are.

Our why

Experiential Learning in Santa Clarita

Imagine a world where every child has the opportunity to explore the wonders of science, dive into the realms of art, delve into the frontiers of technology, and uncover the secrets of agriculture. That’s the world we’re building, and we need your support to make it happen!
