Learning about science in a museum is safer than experiencing it first-hand by accidentally ingesting a science textbook. Embrace science with today’s Groupon for admission to exhibitions, a feature film in the Joseph D. Williams Science Theater or IMAX Theater, and Pulseworks Motion Simulator at Liberty Science Center in Jersey City. The Center opens for exploration Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., and on Saturdays and Sundays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Choose between the following options:

• For $14, you get an adult ticket (a $27.75 value).
• For $11, you get a senior (ages 62+) or junior (ages 2–12) (a $22.50 value).

A nonprofit science museum, Liberty Science Center features the nation’s largest IMAX dome screen and live science programs with audience participation, as well as traveling and permanent exhibitions. A dynamic, ever-changing exhibition gallery, Breakthroughs, transforms its interactive displays every three to four months to offer perspectives on science that’s currently making headlines. Permanent displays include exhibits on skyscrapers, the science of language, and animal-survival mechanisms, to name just a few of the mind-boggling expositions that kindly choose not to blind patrons with science. Turn your eyes skyward with included admission to the IMAX Dome Theater, which spins larger-than-life tales such as the space-themed Hubble, or experience the third dimension at the Joseph D. Williams Science Theater, currently showing Mummies 3D: Secrets of the Pharaohs. The Pulseworks Motion Simulator transports groups of up to eight underwater or into outer space without leaving the center’s grounds or having to fill your spacesuit with krill during five-minute full-sensory voyages.
