thrill of adventure through its ever- changing STEAM programming and events. The museum’s commitment to fresh experiences means there’s always something new to explore at each visit, making it a must-see time and again. A Planetarium like no other The Love’s Planetarium stands out as the most advanced planetarium in the country, featuring unique hybrid technology in an immersive dome environment. In a state that produces more astronauts per capita than any other, this isn’t just a show — it’s an interactive experience where guests can ask questions, request stops in the universe, and participate in their own cosmic adventure. With live presentations like “Beyond Our Horizon” and the rotating “Planetarium Spotlight” series, no two visits are ever the same.
Fresh perspectives through rotating exhibits The museum keeps things dynamic with traveling exhibits that inspire young minds. Recent highlights have included “Expedition: Dinosaur” and “The Animation Academy,” giving members hands-on opportunities with
brand-new exhibits throughout the year. The smART Space galleries further showcase this commitment to variety, featuring rotating exhibitions that bridge art and science. Currently on display are “POV: Perspectives in Anamorphic Art” and “Field Notes: How Mammals Sense Their World.” The POV exhibit closes on Memorial Day, with a new exhibition opening for the summer. The excitement continues as Mighty Mouth has reopened! Thanks to the Delta Dental of Oklahoma and their Foundation, the Mighty Mouth exhibit is new, improved and bigger than before, offering more interactivity but still featuring the well-loved giant teeth. The Oceanarium is also being reimagined for a May debut with an expanded exhibit space focusing on the wonder of ocean ecosystems with an upgraded resident reef. Building tomorrow’s innovators Science Museum Oklahoma’s impact extends beyond exhibits. The Teen Apprentice Program, expanding this year thanks to a generous grant from the NBA Foundation, offers 13-17 year-olds a year-long experience of learning, professional development, and behind-the-scenes access. Applications open March 2.
