The Campaign
Support Science Learning for Everyone!

Ecosystems, the largest and most ambitious component of Phase II of our Master Plan, opened to great acclaim on March 25, 2010. Located in our major expansion that nearly doubles the amount of exhibit space at the Science Center, Ecosystems combines live habitats found in zoos and aquariums with hands-on science exhibits. Guests of all ages learn about the ever-changing environments that make up our world on an unprecedented scale. You can investigate some of Earth’s most fascinating ecosystems and discover how air, water, land and life are interconnected and shaped by the same fundamental principles of ecology.

A $165 million fundraising Campaign is underway to help support Ecosystems and other ongoing California Science Center programs and operations. This extraordinary effort is led by four outstanding philanthropic and community leaders: Wallis Annenberg, G. Bradford Jones, Margo Leonetti O’Connell and Melanie Lundquist. We’ve made great progress toward our goal but still have $27.7 million left to raise. Please consider making a donation to support the Campaign today. To learn more, please email us or call (213) 744-2288.

Our heartfelt thanks go out to our many friends who have already given generously to the Campaign. We still have much work to accomplish, and we need your support to help us keep the Science Center a premiere family learning destination.
