Happy World Teachers' Day to every teacher who mak Happy World Teachers' Day to every teacher who makes science come alive for their students.
Last year, 19,179 students got a miSci educational experience, through 166 field trips and 192 outreach programs. Behind every one of those visits was a teacher who planned the trip, packed the permission slips, and believed their students deserved to see science up close.

To the teachers who answer "but why?" a hundred times a day and who keep curiosity going all year long: thank you. We're proud to learn alongside you.

You've probably imagined your wedding day more tim You've probably imagined your wedding day more times than you can count and we'd love for you to picture it here, at miSci! 

Let's go on this journey together. Imagine the sun setting behind the Schenectady skyline as you say your vows on our patio, the hills rolling out behind you, your favorite people gathered close. Then the night opens up, and you're celebrating surrounded by a museum built to spark wonder in everyone who walks through it.

If you want something the two of you will never forget, ask us about a planetarium wedding. Walk down the aisle beneath a sky built just for you, stars placed exactly where you want them, on a night that's entirely your own.

We host ceremonies, receptions, rehearsal dinners, and bridal showers for up to 300 guests, with no minimum headcount required. However you picture your day, we'd love to help you build it. Reach out and let's talk.
Little ones, get ready for story time like you've Little ones, get ready for story time like you've never seen it. Kerry Tales returns this Saturday, October 3, from 10 to 10:45 AM, right inside our planetarium.

It's story time under the stars, just $5 per child, and it happens the first Saturday of every month. If you've never brought your little one to story time under the dome, today's a great day to start. See you this Saturday!
Three shows, one incredible dome. Every Saturday Three shows, one incredible dome.

Every Saturday and Sunday, our Suits-Bueche Planetarium comes alive with a live operator guiding you through the cosmos, projecting 8,500 stars and 24 constellations exactly as they'd appear from anywhere on Earth.

One World, One Sky at 12 PM — join Big Bird, Elmo, and friends on a night sky adventure. Best for ages 4 and up.

Cosmic Wonders: A Live Star Show at 1 PM — a full tour of the night sky's stars, planets, and stories. Best for ages 8 and up.

Mysteries of Your Brain at 3 PM — a full dome dive into how we sense, think, and perceive the world. Best for ages 8 and up.

Daytime shows are $5 with admission and free for Space Pass members. Grab tickets at the front desk or online, and spend an afternoon under the stars.
Did you know? miSci's archives are considered one Did you know? miSci's archives are considered one of the most important collections in the world for studying the history of the electrical industry.

When miSci merged with the General Electric Hall of Electrical History in 1997, we inherited an extraordinary collection: roughly 10,000 patents, two million photographs, and countless films, business records, books, artifacts, and advertising materials documenting the rise of electricity and technology.

It's a big enough deal that researchers travel here from around the world just to spend time with our collection. Our history is bigger than most people realize. Follow along for more from the archive and drop any questions you might have for us in the comments!
Skip the same old birthday party and give your kid Skip the same old birthday party and give your kid something they'll be talking about at school on Monday.

miSci birthday parties run two hours and include self-guided museum time, a STEAM activity of your choice, a private customized planetarium show, and a party room set up and ready to go.

We handle the curiosity, discovery, and activities. You handle the cake (we don't provide food, but you're welcome to bring your own).

Now booking for fall weekends. Families in Niskayuna and Clifton Park, this one's close to home. Check out our website to reserve your date.
