Eugene Science Center was founded in 1961 as a branch of the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry (OMSI). It was incorporated in 1977 as the Willamette Science & Technology Center (WISTEC), an independent 501(c)(3) corporation. The name "Science Factory" was adopted in 2002, and was later changed to Eugene Science Center in January 2018. We are the only science center in Lane and surrounding counties. We provide a variety of educational programming including interactive exhibitions, planetarium shows and presentations, school programs, science camps, and special events. We primarily serve children ages 0 to 14 along with their families, teachers, and guardians.

Grab your friends for Mystery Night on Saturday, October 24th!

Science Uncensored: Crime Lab combines interactive science exhibits, immersive storytelling, and hands-on forensic investigation into a one-of-a-kind adults-only experience at Eugene Science Center.

Analyze fingerprints, toxicology reports, digital records, skeletal remains, and other forensic clues as you work to reconstruct the events of that fateful night. As you interview suspects and examine the evidence, you will separate the fact from the fiction as you build your case to uncover what really happened.

Purchase your tickets at https://eugenesciencecenter.org/event/science-uncensored-crime-lab/

Admission includes drinks, desserts, a laser show, and all you need to solve the case! Code Ninjas Eugene
