Embark on a 300-million-mile journey to Mars and explore the future of space exploration at the award-winning science exhibition Mars: The Next Giant Leap®, presented by Howmet Aerospace Foundation and powered by the PNC Foundation.

This 7,400-square-foot permanent exhibition next to Buhl Planetarium is the most ambitious experience in Kamin Science Center’s history. With community input and a focus on inclusivity, you’ll explore how sustainability, climate change, social justice, and resource access can shape humanity’s future.
