Adventure Science Center

We are thrilled to announce that Adventure Science Center has been awarded a $64,435 grant from the Tennessee State Museum! ?? This funding will support critical upgrades, including replacing our loading dock door and improving ADA ramps, stairs, and railings for safer, more accessible entry for all. We’re proud to enhance our space as we continue inspiring minds and making science accessible to everyone. Thank you to the Tennessee State Museum and the Tennessee General Assembly for their support. ??: Nolensville Drone Production #adventuresci #adventuresciencecenter #grant #accessibility

We want to congratulate Ralph Schulz on his well-deserved retirement from the Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce! Ralph's visionary leadership has left a lasting mark on Middle Tennessee, but his legacy with the science center began years ago as CEO of the Cumberland Science Museum (now Adventure Science Center). It was under Ralph's guidance that we embraced a new name, signaling a bold commitment to innovation, exploration, and community impact. Thank you, Ralph, for inspiring curiosity and progress not only within our walls but across Nashville. We're wishing you all the best in this next chapter—you've truly earned it. #adventuresci #adventuresciencecenter

In September, WeGo Public Transit unveiled an incredible new mural at the Elizabeth Duff Transit Center. The mural was created with Creative Girls Rock and artist Elisheba Israel Mrozik to honor the first female and first African American female bus operator in Nashville, Elizabeth Duff. The artwork features several Nashville "easter eggs" across its 1,400 square feet, including Adventure Science Center! Next time you're downtown, check out the mural and wave 'hi' to our pyramid in the piece. #adventuresci #adventuresciencecenter #wegotransit #nashvillehistory

We went to space!...well, our flag did. ?? When Dr. Eiman Jahangir traveled to space on a Blue Origin flight earlier this year, he took a small box of personal items with him. Eiman was kind enough to carry a small flag designed by our talented Graphic Designer, Ruth Mudroch, as a token of his time volunteering and working at Adventure Science Center in high school. We are so thankful to have our own piece of memorabilia from Eiman's incredible flight. #adventuresci #adventuresciencecenter #wondersoftheuniverse #blueorigin #spacetravel
