Exploration Place strives to keep your experience interesting, innovative and educational. To make this happen, we need help to keep EP one of the premier science centers in the region.

Why does Exploration Place need YOUR support?

• Exploration Place is a not-for-profit organization. Although we receive government funding, it is dedicated to EP’s operations. We still rely on admissions, memberships, facility rentals, endowment income and voluntary contributions from individuals, area businesses and foundations to fund new exhibits, programs, shows and activities.
• Admission fees represent only about 60% of what it actually costs to provide the unique and enjoyable exhibits, programs and activities for every visitor.
• School groups pay only 15% of the total cost of every child’s experience, but we believe that regardless of individual circumstances, all children should be able to visit Exploration Place.
• All gifts support current and future programs and activities.
• Exploration Place Park is free to the public. Expenses for maintenance and upkeep are solely our responsibility. For more about how you can invest in this extraordinary facility, contact Alberto C. Meloni, Exploration Place's President at 263-3373 or click here to email.
