Portland Science Center to Close for Good
After almost three years of cool educational exhibits, they just don't have enough people going...
GoogleMaps
The Portland Science Center was owned out of Massachusetts, and they are getting out of their lease on Commercial Street. Attendance has been down since they first opened.
The last exhibit was 'Planet Shark' opened in February and ended this month.
They had about two exhibits a year including the opener of 'Body Worlds' with preserved human bodies.
That's too bad. I loved the idea of the educational exhibits where you could learn about Pirates to the Titanic. Hopefully something just as cool will open up in that space.
