Liberty Science Center is a New Jersey nonprofit corporation dedicated to offering exceptional science learning experiences onsite, offsite and online. Located in Liberty State Park, Jersey City, NJ, we engage learners of all ages in science excitement, provide professional development for teac hers, and actively connect people of all backgrounds to pivotal science and society issues.

History & Mission

Liberty Science Center engages diverse audiences in relevant issues that connect nature, humanity and technology. Through innovative and meaningfu l experiences, we inspire action to strengthen communities and advance global stewardship.

Our History

Located in historic Liberty State Park, neighboring the Statue of Liberty and across the river from Lower Manhattan, Liberty Science Center first opened its doors in 1993. But it truly began in the 1970s, when a series of editorials in the Star - Ledger newspaper pushed state leaders to recognize that more educational resources were needed to build a science - and technology - savvy population.

Liberty Science Center completed a twenty - two - month, $109 million expansion and renewal project on July 19, 2007. The expansion added 100,000 square feet (9,300 m 2 ) to the facility, bringing it to nearly 300,000 square feet (28,000 m 2 ). However, the amount of exhibit spa ce slightly decreased with the expansion as all the new space added is open space such as queue lines for the ticketing office. It also has state - of - the - art surround sound, and also one of the world's best picture screens in the IMAX dome.

LSC is accessibl e to all physically challenged guests. Please inform LSC of your special needs.
