At The Bishop Museum of Science and Nature, every visit opens a door to something bigger. You step into a place where questions lead to exploration, and exploration leads to understanding. Here, curiosity is not just encouraged, it is the starting point.

Inside our Planetarium, you travel far beyond Earth. You move through distant galaxies, witness the scale of the universe, and see your place in it with a new perspective. For many guests, this is the first time they truly grasp how vast and beautiful space can be.

In our exhibits, you trace Florida’s story across millions of years. You stand face to face with ancient creatures and uncover the layers of history beneath your feet. These moments connect people to the land they live on in a deeper way.

In the Mosaic Backyard Universe, learning becomes active. You build, test, experiment, and solve. Children and adults work side by side, turning ideas into action. Studies show that hands-on learning increases retention by up to 75 percent. Your support helps create these moments every day.

At the Parker Manatee Rehabilitation Habitat, care meets purpose. Rescued manatees recover here before returning to the wild. Guests see conservation in action and learn what it takes to protect vulnerable species. Each rehabilitation effort depends on funding, expertise, and public support.

The Bishop is a place where future scientists, engineers, and conservationists begin their journey. It is also a place where families connect, where teachers find resources, and where our community gathers to learn.

But none of this happens without you.

When you give, you do more than support a museum. You:

• Provide hands-on science experiences for thousands of students each year
• Fund the care and recovery of injured manatees
• Expand access to education for underserved communities
• Maintain exhibits that inspire curiosity and critical thinking
• Support programs that prepare the next generation of innovators

A single visit can change how someone sees the world. A single experience can shape a future career. Your gift makes those moments possible.

Be the one who ensures a child looks up at the stars and asks why.
Be the one who helps protect Florida’s wildlife.
Be the one who invests in learning that lasts a lifetime.

Your support today builds tomorrow’s discoveries.

Make your impact. Be the one.
