Did you know that OMSI has a recording studio?

Our Teen Tech Center is fully equipped with an audio mixing station, DJ system, sound booth, and a variety of instruments so you can create your own sound from scratch.

All good things must come to an end... even Exquisite Creatures at OMSI.

Closing on February 17, we have just a couple of weeks left with the incredible exhibit created by Christopher Marley. Don't miss your chance to see his awe-inspiring works in person before they're gone.

Have you met Houdini in our Earth Lab? He's a Mexican Black Kingsnake.

We found him hanging out in a new spot this week—a plant pot. Later, he went back to what he usually does - burrowing into the bedding, which he does to regulate his temperature.

We are so excited to announce Project LEDO's takeover of our Physics Lab for Black History Month! They'll introduce new activities each week in February, inspired by a different Black woman in STEAM.

Stay tuned to our socials throughout the month for a closer look at each week's featured scientist!

Join us February 14 for our annual adults-only prom night, PROMSI!!! This year, VIP pass holders can get incredible extra perks—from drink tickets and attraction vouchers to early admission and a private lounge!

Just returned home from visiting! OMSI is still my one of my daughter's favorite birthday celebration destinations, and today she's 30! We had a great time. 😁

PNCA's Visual Mathematics students designed posters communicating mathematical concepts that were displayed through our hallways.
