Owner description:
When the most frequent assessment of your organization is ‘That’s really cool’, you know you’re in the right business. The mission of GWIZ – The Science Museum is to be the gateway to lifelong adventures in science, but the real agenda is to ignite imaginations… to show that the world around us is amazing, breathtaking and full of unanswered questions. GWIZ operates a 33,000 square foot center, interactive gallery, critter habitat and Fab Lab. In addition they offer year-round programming for residents, school groups, community groups and tourists.
