Summer at the Orlando Science Center Museum

Summer may be winding down, but the Orlando Science Center museum still has some of the hottest exhibits in town. From now until October 12, the Rockwell’s America exhibit invites visitors to interact with three-dimensional dioramas of Norman Rockwell’s most famous cover illustrations for the Saturday Evening Post. With 20 theatrical environments, this is the largest Norman Rockwell/Saturday Evening Post exhibition ever created.

The Titanic—the Experience continues its special engagement at the Orlando Science Center. An admission ticket to this special exhibit allows visitors to embark upon a guided tour of Titanic artifacts that were originally displayed at the (now closed) Titanic exhibit on International Drive.

The Orlando Science Center museum is home to the world's largest Iwerks (extreme screen) domed theater and Digistar II planetarium, with 28,000 watts of digital sound. Currently the Dr. Phillips CineDome is showing several giant-screened features: Sea Monsters: A Prehistoric Adventure, Roving Mars, and Storm Chasers. For a 3-D experience without the funny glasses, this is as good as it gets. For more information about the Orlando Science Center, visit the museum’s Website at www.osc.org.
