Explore the World of Science
Adventure Science Center in Nashville has unveiled its newest exhibit, early explorations, created specifically for children ages five and under. This vibrant, screen-free space sparks curiosity and fosters a love of science through play.
Discover Early Explorations
Opened on June 2, 2025, early explorations is designed as a miniature version of the science center. The exhibit features four areas to explore, including: wildlife (for our crawlers), engineering, space exploration and health. Special thanks to The Frist Foundation and The Marlene and Spencer Hays Foundation for making this exhibit possible.
Weekly Early Explorers Story Time
Enhance your visit by attending Early Explorers Story Time, held every Monday at 9:30 a.m. in Eureka Theatre on the second floor. Each session features a different book related to a STEM concept, followed by an accompanying activity — creating a dynamic and educational experience for young children.
