More About The Franklin Institute

Franklin Institute was founded in 1824, making it one of the nation’s oldest science centers, featuring nearly a dozen permanent exhibitions that encourage hands-on learning by kids and adults alike. The museum allows patrons to see science in action, letting them walk through a giant beating heart to learn about its chambers in one exhibit that has been open for more than 60 years. Another focuses on space exploration and enables visitors to use satellite imagery to find their own houses, while train enthusiasts will love the Train Factory, featuring a real steam locomotive.

The museum is also home to a planetarium, the second-oldest of its kind in the nation, where visitors can marvel at the stars through the 40,000-pound steel dome ceiling, and an IMAX dome theater that shows exhibit-themed films.

The science center welcomes several traveling exhibits every year, so residents who live in apartments near the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia will always have a new excuse to return to the museum. Many of its temporary shows are being seen by American audiences for the first time, and cover topics including natural history and technology.

Apart from its exhibits, the Franklin Institute is also a hub for events. It features frequent lectures and workshops on science-related topics, recently launched two innovative escape room games, and stages live science shows. Every month, its Science After Hours allows adults to have free run over the whole museum while enjoying drinks, food, and networking opportunities, and it also is a host of many community gatherings and galas.
