Support

As an independent, not-for-profit institution, PacSci depends on financial support from the community. Joining as a member or making a gift helps PacSci ignite curiosity and fuel a passion for discovery, experimentation, and critical thinking for kids and families across Washington.

Pacific Science Center is such a valuable asset for our students and community. I cannot think of another place where the exposure to science is so approachable and creates such lasting experiences and memories. Vanessa, Highland Park Elementary School Teacher
