ATTRACTIONS
INFINITY SCIENCE CENTER
From the ocean’s depths to the farthest reaches of outer space, INFINITY Science Center unveils the sights, sounds, textures, and smells of past discoveries with a rare glimpse at future missions into uncharted space.
INFINITY is a non-profit organization and serves as the official visitor center for NASA’s Stennis Space Center and its resident labs and offices. Each of the 30+ federal and state agencies, universities, and industries at Stennis falls into either an Earth or Space science category.
Few people realize that the entire northern Coast is rich in leading-edge, world-class space, military, oceans, and weather research, plus ship building, chemical manufacturing, engineering support, petroleum, and high tech operations. It’s INFINITY’s vision to be the focal point for Earth and Space Sciences education and dialogue along the Coast.
Visitors to the 35,000-square-foot science center enter a world where discovery truly is endless. The fun begins with outdoor exhibits such as a tsunami buoy, a U.S. Navy riverine training boat, and the colossal Apollo Saturn V first stage.
