About this tour
Explore the worlds beneath the waves and beyond Earth at the Flandrau Science Center, set on the University of Arizona campus in Tucson. This entry ticket opens the door to exhibits that make science tangible for curious visitors of all ages.
Stroll through displays about marine life, bugs, sharks, fossils, and space. At the Undersea Discovery aquarium exhibit, uncover stories of ocean creatures, while fossils trace how life evolved under the sea over 600 million years. Step into the asteroid cave to see meteor samples and learn about space missions, then take in a large-scale model of the surface of Mars. Interactive elements, games, and activities offer younger visitors a hands-on way to explore, while changing exhibits bring subjects such as biology, energy, and optics into focus.
Your ticket covers the science exhibits; planetarium shows are available separately and can be added on arrival. Make time for a Tucson Science Center visit and follow your curiosity from the ocean floor to the far reaches of space.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. GetYourGuide rates it 4.29 from 16 reviews. We place that rating among all GetYourGuide ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.
How the score works and rating distribution in Tucson
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 6.4.
