Like the rest of the country, Liberty Science Center was invaded by a mysterious species this week known as Pokémon! From Pidgeys flying over the Hoberman Sphere to Rattatas crawling in the Touch Tunnel, the Pokémon invasion was a perfect opportunity for guests to identify and learn more about these under-researched creatures.

Since Liberty Science Center has a gym and four Poké Stops, the Pokémon will likely not be leaving the premises anytime soon. Therefore, we encourage all visitors to do their part as citizen scientists and share their Pokémon with us online, using the hashtag #LibertyScienceCenter.

Here are a few of our favorite photos from this week’s chaos

Do your part as a citizen scientist! #LibertyScienceCenter

We have four Poké Stops on site!

We are currently documenting Pokémon sightings observed by guests. Please share them with us and we will catalogue them here!
