Celebrate America’s 250th Birthday all month with special savings in July at The Wonders Center & Science Museum, just 35 minutes west of Williamson County and downtown Nashville! Escape the summer heat and explore Tennessee’s largest science museum and the world’s largest science museum from a biblical perspective while creating unforgettable family memories.
Looking for the perfect place to stay cool while creating unforgettable family memories? From touching a real meteorite and a real dinosaur bone to exploring one of the world’s top-ten rated planetariums, The Wonders Center & Science Museum offers an adventure unlike anywhere else in Tennessee. At more than 100,000 square feet, the Wonders Center brings together science, history, and hands-on discovery in a way that captivates visitors of every age. With hundreds of interactive experiences throughout the museum, guests don’t just observe science, they experience it.
One of the museum’s signature experiences is The Heavens Declare Planetarium, one of the world’s top-ten rated planetariums, where breathtaking presentations inspire visitors to marvel at the beauty and order of the universe. As Psalm 19:1 reminds us, “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands.” Families can also experience the museum’s spectacular one-million-volt Tesla Coil demonstration, where electricity comes alive in one of the museum’s most exciting and unforgettable live presentations.
Beyond the planetarium, guests can experience exhibits that bring science to life through hands-on exploration. In the astronomy gallery, visitors can touch an actual meteorite that traveled through space before reaching Earth and view authentic astronaut gear, including gloves and other artifacts donated by astronauts who walked on the moon, offering a fascinating glimpse into the history of space exploration. In paleontology, children and adults alike can touch a real dinosaur bone from a Camarasaurus. Young explorers can head to the Dino Dig area to dig for and identify dinosaur bones just like real paleontologists. Throughout the museum, families can explore towering life-size dinosaurs, authentic fossils, fascinating exhibits in astronomy, biology, anatomy, history, paleontology, examine authentic 1,000-year-old Bible scrolls, meet live reptiles, explore the Wonders of Africa and Alaska, search for their own treasures at the museum’s popular 65-foot outdoor gem mining attraction, and experience the incredible NEW Wonders of the Sea exhibit featuring colorful marine life and interactive displays that showcase the beauty and complexity of God’s underwater creation.
The Wonders Center offers a full day of air-conditioned fun that combines entertainment with meaningful educational experiences. Whether you’re traveling with young children, teenagers, grandparents, or hosting out-of-town guests, there’s something designed to inspire curiosity in everyone, all from a biblical perspective.
“Our hope is that every family who visits leaves with a greater sense of wonder, not only about the incredible world around them, but about the Creator who designed it. When science is explored with curiosity and truth, it inspires awe, meaningful conversations, and memories that can last a lifetime.”
— David Rives, Founder and President, Wonders Center & Science Museum
