 What to expect: This walking tour around Pacific Science Center’s campus has five stops at varying exhibit experiences. Each stop introduces site specific work and consideration that’s affected the exhibit experience, and holds space for additional feedback and curiosity in support of creating inclusive experiences. Tour participants can expect to cover a bit of ground on this tour, in a group of 25 people, with one person leading the tour and discussion.

Accessibility information: An ASL interpreter will support this tour. In two instances, participants will use a ramp. Three sets of restrooms are available, with one on the tour path. Some interactive experiences do have auditory elements, however, PacSci will lower the volume of exhibits in adjacent areas.
