The Michigan Science Center is preparing to bring explosive reactions, cloud-making demonstrations, and other hands-on STEM experiences to communities across Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana during the 2026-2027 school year.
This is for all the curious kids out there, and honestly, the adults too. The Michigan Science Center just launched a brand-new weekend program called “Insides Out,” and yes, it is exactly what it sounds like.
The dissection series will take place on the museum’s main floor in Mi-Sci’s Learning Launchpad from 2-4 p.m. every Saturday and Sunday.
The Michigan Science Center will join museums nationwide in the Blue Star Museums initiative, a program that provides free admission to currently-serving U.S. military personnel and their families.
If you’re already thinking about the fun you can plan for the family this weekend, there’s an event that might scratch everyone’s itch.

Here’s a unique idea for a loved one: There are a lot of exciting things to discover at the Michigan Science Center in Midtown, Detroit, said Christian Grear, president and CEO. Grear showed us all the fun things at the Center, which includes an illusional room that lets you look bigger or smaller, based on the side of the room you’re on. The Science Center also features a variety of interactive exhibits for physics and chemistry. You can expect to see fun science experiments and things explode -- but in a safe place for all. As families are looking for new and cool things to do, consider checking out or gifting an experience at the Michigan Science Center, Grear said.
