Description
from Liberty Science Center
Liberty Science Center is a must-see destination. Located in beautiful Liberty State Park in Jersey City, NJ, LSC is a cutting-edge, 300,000-square-foot learning and entertainment venue visited by more than 750,000 guests each year. The Science Center is also home to the Jennifer Chalsty Planetarium, the biggest planetarium in the Western Hemisphere, where you can learn to spot the stars in the night sky. Explore the engineering marvels of our times in Skyscraper, and try balancing on an I beam in midair. Make your way through the pitch-black Touch Tunnel guided only by your sense of touch. Get dizzying views of LSC's interior when you enter the Infinity Climber, suspended 35 feet above the atrium floor. Enjoy live science demonstrations, 3D movies, and laser shows, programming geared toward preschool kids, and engaging temporary shows that change up several times a year. The striking, architecturally distinct Science Center is conveniently located near public transportation hubs and a major highway between Newark International Airport and New York City. After your visit to Liberty Science Center, it’s easy to move on to the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, and downtown New York City.
