"Fun with the Family"


The Whitaker Center describes its theme as “science through the arts,” making science fun through dance, film, music, and more. The center includes a state-of-the-art Select Medical IMAX 3-D movie theater, Hansco Science Center, and a Broadway-size Sunoco Performance theater, which hosts many concerts and performances. The Hansco Science Center includes nine permanent exhibits that explore physical science, natural science, life science, and technology. If you park at Strawberry  Square, you can enter the Whitaker Center by way of an enclosed walkway.
