From our Tinkering Studio to our Fossil Dig, our exhibits are engineered in-house for both fun and curiosity-led learning. Explore the museum, build a marble run, or land a lunar module — there is something for the whole family to enjoy.

Coming this fall

Subterranean Science:

Exploring Life in the Dark


We are excited to announce that a reimagined cave exhibit is on its way to ScienceWorks this fall! This exciting new Subterranean Science exhibit will feature living creatures that thrive in the dark, preserved specimens of local cave insects and bats, glowing minerals, and antique mining tools that tell the story of life and work underground.


This project is made possible through the generous support of the Brabson Family Foundation, with additional donations from the Clark R. Bavin National Fish and Wildlife Forensics Laboratory. Expertise and input from the Friends of the Oregon Cave National Monument and the National Park Service have also helped shape the exhibit.


Join us for the official opening of Subterranean Science: Exploring Life in the Dark at our annual Monster Ball on October 25. We can't wait to see you there!
