Science Station

Mission Statement:
A science and technology center which provides entertaining learning experiences that inspire and  stimulate the imagination

Our History:
The Science Station is housed in an historic brick  structure built in 1917 as a fire station. The building was used as a fire station until 1985. When the city moved the fire crew and equipment to another site, Junior League of Cedar Rapids Inc. undertook a major fundraising drive to renovate the building into a public hands-on science museum. Science Station opened  to the public in 1986 and was a three-year project for Junior League after which it was turned over to the community. The firemen's pole remains vertical on the main floor. A display of original fire station photographs is displayed on the main floor as well.
