Science Museums and Sites

There are many wonderful and exciting places the public can go to learn about science! These include science museums, archaeological sites, and natural wonders of many stripes, to name just a few! The following has two sections: a state listing and links to other science museum indexes. The state list includes contact information, including address, phone number, and web page (where available). Also included are links to away team reports by STARFLEET members (where they exist). So if you have an away team report for a place you've visited that you'd like me to link to, or if there is a science place not on the list, please send me details and I'll add it.

Other Indexes

Café Scientifique

  • Colorado Café Scientifique in Denver
    • "The Café Scientifique idea started in England a few years ago, based on the French Café Philosophique. In the Café Scientifique, people (often science buffs) come together in a friendly pub after work and hear an informal introduction to an interesting current scientific topic, led by an expert. We take a short break for refreshments, to meet new people, and chat, and then we return for questions and answers and general discussion. All questions and comments are welcome, as this isn't a seminar, it's a chance for all of us to express an opinion, expert or otherwise."
  • Café Scientifique, Great Britain
    • Café Scientifique is a place where, for the price of a cup of coffee or a glass of wine, anyone can come to explore the latest ideas in science and technology. Meetings take place in cafes, bars, restaurants and even theatres, but always outside a traditional academic context. Café Scientifique is a forum for debating science issues, not a shop window for science. We are committed to promoting public engagement with science and to making science accountable.
  • Science On Tap, Seattle, WA -- "A place to eat, drink, and talk about science".
    • Science on Tap is a place where anyone can come to explore the latest ideas in science and technology in a relaxed atmosphere. A forum for discussing science issues with local scientists, Science on Tap is based on Cafe Scientifique. We are committed to promoting public engagement with science and to making science accessible.
