The Cambridge Science Centre, located on Jesus Lane in Cambridge, England, is the city's first interactive science museum.

Formally opened by the Vice-Chancellor of Cambridge University, Leszek Borysiewicz, on 7 February 2013,[1] the museum was opened to the public on 8 February 2013. Its first exhibition dealt with the electromagnetic spectrum and principles of sound and hearing. Its target audience is families and schools, particularly children between 7 and 14 years old.

The venture was founded by Chris Lennard and backed by technology entrepreneurs, including chairman David Cleevely, Hermann Hauser and Jonathan Milner.[2]
