SCIENCE ON THE MOVE

The Mobile Science Center delivers exhibits, programs, and activities directly to schools and events across Ventura County. Serving 226 schools in 19 districts, it ensures access to hands-on science experiences for those unable to visit our main center, bringing discovery and innovation right to their doorstep.

Science Delivered to the Classroom

The Mobile Science Center transforms a 24’ trailer into an engaging walk-through exhibit featuring themes like live arthropods, dinosaurs, and solar panels. It creates a “museum setting” at schools and public events, allowing entire schools to explore one classroom at a time. For those unable to visit Leap Lab in Santa Paula, the Mobile Science Center delivers hands-on science experiences directly to their communities.
