Powerhouse Science Center

Interactive science center in Durango's historic power plant, offering hands-on exhibits, a TinkerLab, and a riverside plaza.

The Powerhouse Science Center, housed in a nationally historic coal-fired power plant along the Animas River, is Southwest Colorado's premier STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Math) engine. It offers a dynamic and interactive experience for all ages with engaging exhibits, a creative TinkerLab, and a fascinating look at historic generators. Visitors can explore an augmented reality sandbox, experiment with air rockets, and relax at the Carver Family Plaza by the river, often hosting trivia nights. It's a vibrant hub for discovery, play, and learning.
