It’s game time!

Build your own games and play some of ours—we’re turning the Science Center into a Science Arcade on Saturday, September 20 from noon – 4:00pm. Craft the ultimate cardboard pinball machine. Turn yourself into an 8-bit video game character. Practice your aim while experimenting with velocity and pool noodles. Plus a few more surprises await you—no quarters needed.

All activities are free with paid admission or membership.

Celebrating 50 years

Did you know that…

The Maryland Science Center has always been a fan of video games. In fact, in 1980 we hosted a video game tournament where the winner took home an Atari Home Video Game Center. You can read the 1980 press release from our archive here.
