The Michigan Science Center stands on what was once the Detroit Science Center. The Detroit Science Center officially closed in 2011 and has been replaced with the Michigan Science Center, which opened in December of 2012. It is a non-profit organization located in Detroit, Michigan that helps to inspire minds of all ages to appreciate science, engineering, math, and technology all in a dynamic and interactive learning environment.
