Jersey City's Science Hub Gets a Major Upgrade: What's in Store?
New Jersey is giving a big thumbs up to Liberty Science Center's big plans. The state is offering nearly $40 million in tax credits for Project Supernova, a huge expansion project. This isn't just about adding more space; it's about creating a place where science, nature, and fun come together.
A Playground with a Twist
The center is set to get a kids' playground with a twist—goats! Yes, goats. This isn't your average playground. It's designed so kids and goats can play together safely, with staff making sure everyone has a good time. There's also a new habitat for river otters, where visitors can watch them swim and play, rain or shine.
Mini Golf with a Scientific Twist
How about a mini golf course that teaches you about physics? Each hole is designed to show a different physics principle, paying tribute to New Jersey's rich history in science. And if you're into climate change, there's a new exhibition called River Rising. It's all about the Hudson River and how climate change is affecting it.
More Exciting Additions
The center isn't stopping there. They're also:
- Upgrading their planetarium
- Adding a 9/11 Memorial Garden
- Expanding the animal habitats
The goal? To make Liberty Science Center even more exciting and educational for everyone who visits.
Making Science Fun and Accessible
This project is all about making science fun and accessible. It's a place where families, tourists, and anyone curious about the world can come to learn and explore. With all these new additions, Liberty Science Center is set to become an even bigger hub for science and discovery.
