North Dakota's Gateway to Science

Discovery starts here! North Dakota's Gateway to Science hosts over 100,000 visitors each year in our hands-on, interactive exhibits gallery. Visitors of all ages discover the wonders of our world through scientific exploration.

Memberships available for year-round admission into the gallery. Our memberships are also honored by other ASTC centers around the world.

We offer after school clubs, summer science camps and workshops when there is no school. We host several free family events throughout the year, including Winter Wonderland, Weather You Wanna' Know, Family Rocket Day, and Bubble Bliss.

Our annual fundraiser, Einstein on Wine, is held in November and features a showdown between two local chefs. Good food, fun activities, entertainment, live and silent auctions - all adds up to a unique fun-filled evening for our adult supporters.

Our motto: It's fun, it's cool, it's awesome! It's science!
