Science Museum of Long Island

About Us

Preparing the children of today for active participation in the science of tomorrow.

The Science Museum of Long Island is a not-for-profit science education center located on the Leeds Pond Preserve in Nassau County. SMLI is committed to providing young people an excitement about science through active discovery and problem solving. In addition, SMLI helps to foster a sense of wonder, respect and appreciation for the environment by using the backdrop of the Leeds Pond Preserve to teach sound conservation practices.

The Science Museum offers enhanced science education to children during afterschool & holiday break workshops, school field trips, outreach programs, scout badges and science summer camp. We also offer enrichment workshops for all ages, children's birthday parties and a variety of community events throughout the year. We invite teachers and community leaders to learn about our field trips, environmental projects, partnerships and event opportunities, as well as the different types of virtual programs and programs that we can bring to your site.
