Imagine Planet
Share
Imagine Planet is a no-admission, non-profit, science enrichment, hands-on activity center, where adults and children can explore, create, learn, and play.
The idea for Imagine Planet grew from the realization that access to science enrichment opportunities had attendance barriers including high admission fees and lack of transportation. By keeping overhead costs low, and choosing a location in the heart of the city of Jackson, we can offer free admission. We're a non-profit and welcome contributions from those who can manage it (from material goods to corporate sponsors and monetary donations). Repeat visits are encouraged both by the free admission and by changing activities so that there is something new every time you attend. Come join the fun!!
