More than a children’s museum, the Science Mill in Johnson City is a science museum, family attraction, and historical destination on a mission to make STEM more accessible to kids of all backgrounds.
Here, we're all about discovery, creativity and hands-on learning. We've searched far and wide to deliver the most innovative and powerfully playful exhibits to our community. Indulge your curiosity as you jump into the exciting world of science, technology, engineering, and math.
When you explore our 50+ exhibits, you won't find lengthy how-to guides or instructions. This is on purpose. We want each of our guests to have a unique experience, creating their own Science Mill journey each and every time they visit. If you happen to need assistance, just look around for our highly trained Explainers. They're positioned across the museum to answer your questions and ensure you have a fun-filled day at the Mill.
