Science Museum Oklahoma Honored as One of Newsweek's Top Science Museums
March 7, 2025
Science Museum Oklahoma is proud to announce its recognition as one of the nation's premier science museums, securing the #6 spot in Newsweek's 2025 Readers' Choice Awards. This prominent acknowledgment places Science Museum Oklahoma alongside renowned institutions in major markets such as Chicago, New York City, and San Francisco.
"Being ranked among the top science museums in the country is a testament to our commitment to quality interactive experiences that foster a love for science," said Sherry Marshall, John E. Kirkpatrick CEO of Science Museum Oklahoma. "This recognition reflects the dedication of our team and the support of our incredible Oklahoma community."
A standout feature contributing to this accolade is the museum’s state-of-the-art Love's Planetarium. Unlike many institutions, Science Museum Oklahoma includes planetarium shows with general admission, ensuring all visitors can explore the cosmos without additional charges.
Located in Oklahoma City’s Adventure District, Science Museum Oklahoma is also among the largest science museums in the nation at more than 390,000 square feet. The museum offers a diverse array of exhibits and interactive experiences, catering to visitors of all ages. From the immersive CurioCity—a children's museum within the museum—to the captivating and explosive shows in Science Live.
This national recognition underscores the museum's role as a leader in science education, not just in Oklahoma, but across the country. By offering world-class exhibits and relevant experiences, Science Museum Oklahoma continues to inspire future generations of scientists, engineers, and innovators.
