Most science centers have a science store and café – restaurant. Can these areas be used to support the science centre’s mission and increase revenue? Can a unique science store or restaurant also play an important role as an external arena for outreach which aligns with your science centre’s mission?

The session will look at three different types of activities and explore the innovations achieved as well as the considerations that have been made. In addition, we will present sales figures for those activities which you can use as benchmarks for your own science centre.
