Explore the Possibilities of Scientific Adventure...
This year, take your students on an amazing adventure that will open their minds to the wonders of science. At The New Detroit Science Center, you can create an exciting field trip adventure that includes lively laboratories, spectacular shows and uncommonly cool classroom programs. Programs for grades K-12 correlate with the State of Michigan Curriculum Framework and are designed to excite, motivate and inspire young minds.

It's easy to create your own adventure at The New Detroit Science Center.
Simply choose from our four exhibit laboratories, a children's gallery, two science stages, an IMAX® Dome Theatre, Dassault Systèmes Planetarium and many new sensational science programs!


Art & Science Tours
Give your students the ultimate experience of art and science in one field trip with neighboring partners The New Detroit Science Center and the Detroit Institute of Arts.

This Detroit Cultural Center field trip adventure begins in the morning with an hour tour of the DIA, followed by a Ford Learning Resource Center classroom program on chemistry and art at The New Detroit Science Center and time for exploring the Science Center's exhibit laboratories.

The FORD LEARNING RESOURCE CENTER welcomes minds in motion with five unique learning classrooms that are out of this world.

Spark a new interest in electricity at DTE ENERGY SPARKS THEATER, one of two demonstration stages. Tilt, float and try out a real hovercraft on the DAIMLERCHRYSLER SCIENCE STAGE located in the heart of the center.
