Our Mission

Chabot Space & Science Center inspires and educates students of all ages about our Planet Earth and the Universe.

Its observatory, planetarium, exhibits, and natural park setting are a place where a diverse population of students, teachers, and the public can imagine, understand, and learn to shape their future through science.

About Us

Since 1883, Chabot Space & Science Center has been providing inspirational science education to the diverse community we serve.  Our rich history is coupled with the latest technology in a fun-filled, hands-on center where questions about our universe, which includes our own planet, are explored and answered.  

Enveloped in a redwood laced, parkland environment, our interactive exhibits and larger-than-life shows immerse visitors in the wonders of the cosmos, encouraging participation in its splendor. Chabot’s committed staff, instructors, and volunteers ensure each visitor’s expectations are exceeded as they discover the interaction of natural wonders around them.
