INSIGHTS El Paso Science Museum is for the budding scientist in both young and older visitors, where a fascinating world of science and technology is revealed in a series of fun, educational and hands-on exhibits.

The interactive and touch museum explores solar power, motion, light illumination, electricity, space science, computers, energy and the human body.

INSIGHTS El Paso Science Museum opened in1980 as the result of a few dedicated community members who noticed the lack of opportunity to study science in-depth in local schools.

Now the center features permanent exhibits like the Tesla Coil and the Centrifugal force spinner. Traveling exhibits are provided through an arrangement with the Smithsonian Institution and other established scientific organizations.

The permanent gallery also delves into fascinating topics like electricity, bending light, optical illusions and magnetism.
