Casper Science Museum | The Science Zone

Welcome to The Science Zone!

The Science Zone is Casper's premiere science destination. We utilize innovative exhibits, programs, and outreach to promote informal science education throughout the State of Wyoming. We accomplish this through interactive exhibits, summer and seasonal science camps, Family STEAM nights, field trips for schools, classes for homeschool students, after-school science classes, outreach programs, special events, birthday parties, and live demonstrations.

The Science Zone exists to inspire curiosity!

Take a ride through the science of bicycling!

Since its inception in the late 19th century, the bicycle has affected how people live, work, and play. From schoolyards and mountain trails to bustling city streets, we encounter bicycles nearly every day. The bicycle is an elegant example of basic science principles and material science. At GEAR UP, visitors learn how bikes work, the history/evolution of the bike: the science and technology behind the machine, and how bikes have impacted our culture. Like the bicycle itself, the exhibition has been designed to appeal to people of all ages with diverse interests.

GEAR UP: The Science of Bikes is organized by Carnegie Science Center (Pittsburgh, Pa.).
