EmailLancaster Science Factory is a hands-on, interactive technology and science center in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Come explore our exciting displays relating to the physical sciences, engineering, technology and mathematics! Science Factory exhibits are designed for ages 7-13 but is fun for the whole family. The main exhibit gallery, the Castagna Learning Center and all exhibits are wheelchair accessible. Members of other Association of Science-Technology Centers (ASTC) can use their membership at the Science Factory if they meet the proper guidelines. Our open floor plan allows you to move from exhibit-to-exhibit at your own pace. The Factory 50 plus exhibits aren't just displays. They're interactive, for our guests to touch, try out, play with, and most importantly, experiment. Each exhibit is related to some scientific or mathematical concept, but the act of using them can be creative. Not only are our exhibits hands-on and fun, they are also designed to enhance the principles of science. The average visit time to the Science Factory is about two hours. Your admission is good until we close for business that day. You are welcome to take a break and come back later to play some more! Visit our Events Programs page to learn about special events we have and to learn more about our Science Cafe demonstrations.

- Associations
- The success of the Lancaster Science Factory depends largely on our volunteers. As a 501C3 Non-Profit organization with a small staff, we depend on our volunteers to "keep the gears turning" around the museum. The Science Factory is proud to have over 50 volunteers who donate their time week after week to help us meet our goals of offering a fun and educational experience for kids and their families. While a science background is appreciated, our volunteers are not required to be a retired science teacher or engineer (although we have plenty of volunteers from those fields). All a volunteer needs is dedication to our mission of working with children to develop curiosity, think creatively and build confidence as they learn the principles of science.
