MEMBER BENEFIT: PACIFIC SCIENCE CENTER MEMBERS GET A SNEAK PREVIEW OF THIS EXHIBIT MAY 30!

Speed
It's the fastest exhibit ever at Pacific Science Center! Speed engages visitors in the scientific and human qualities of going fast. At the heart of each experience is the physical reality of speed, illustrating the math and physics of acceleration, horsepower, and friction.

Through the personal stories of individuals testing their own abilities and the limits of technology, Speed will redefine your understanding of what it means to go fast. With our society going ever faster these days, Speed chronicles our cultural and technological fascination with a 6,000 square-foot experience that transports guests into the world of high performance, barrier smashing motion. Racing cars, planes boats and eccentric custom vehicles, are featured in the exhibit which engages guests of all backgrounds and ages. The experiences focus on the science and technology of pushing the envelope to achieve record setting speed while explaining the limits of getting there.
