Explorit Science Center

Explorit Science Center is a non-profit organization committed to the mission: to involve people in science experiences that touch our lives. It's a great place to visit with your family and friends for hands-on science fun. Popular public events include the Family Exploration programs which often feature guest scientists from the community. Week-long summer day camps and birthday parties with hands-on science themes are popular programs just for children. Explorit also organized a monthly public science lecture series held at the Davis Branch Library. It had featured notables such as Paul Moller.

At its main site, Explorit Nature Center (formerly called the Mace Park Branch) located at 3141 5th street hosts school field trips on weekday mornings. Teachers can choose from Discovery Lessons, Discovery Labs, Nature Labs and Nature Safaris. In the wider region, Explorit also has extensive mobile programs which serve elementary schools and community sites within 18 counties in the greater Sacramento area. These traveling programs include Classroom Adventures, School wide Science Assembly Programs, after-school Young Scientist Series programs, family science nights such as Science in Your World and Health in Your World. The Explorit Nature Center has The Science Mosaic Bench out front.
