We live for those jaw-dropping “MOM, did you SEE that??” moments… And in our Live Science shows, we see a LOT of them!

Through Adventure Access, we’re able to support over 40,000 of these moments each year by providing free and subsidized admissions, memberships, field trips, and camp registrations to underserved communities.

Huge thanks to our incredible community partners who make this possible: Ingram Charities, Louie M. and Betty M. Phillips Foundation, Memorial Foundation, and Ryman Hospitality Properties Foundation.

And shoutout to AJ Michales for the amazing video, and to our Live Science Presenter Kaylie for bringing the WOW factor!

Every great scientist started with a single moment of curiosity.

Maybe it was peering through a microscope for the first time or watching a chemistry experiment come alive.

Our Adventure Access program makes 40,000+ of those moments possible each year for under-resourced communities. And right now, thanks to a $25,000 matching gift from the McGowan family, your donation is doubled.
