Flandrau 50th Anniversary Recognized in Congressional Record

On April 28, 2026, Flandrau Science Center & Planetarium hosted a private event to celebrate the opening of our latest exhibit and to commemorate 50 years of inspiring scientific curiosity and wonder within the Southern Arizona community. Those in attendance had the opportunity to enjoy a variety of specialty foods and beverages and an exclusive sneak peek into our new "Mysteries of the Cosmos" exhibit.

The excitement did not end there, as Flandrau Science Center & Planetarium received a pleasant surprise, as recognition of our 50th anniversary, alongside the grand opening of our new exhibit, was officially added to the Congressional Record of the House of Representatives. 

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the generous supporters and amazing staff who joined and contributed to the success of the evening. Additionally, we would like to extend a special thank you to Representative Juan Ciscomani and his office for this incredible distinction.
