Whitaker Center Concerts 2024

There is something for kids of all ages. It has definitely inspired our 4 and 6 year old to learn more about science! Definitely worth the membership, wish I realized that before buying 2 sets of tickets!

I was at the Whitaker Center to see my great niece perform in Bring It On the musical by students of CASA. They did a terrific job! The theater was clean, the seats are comfortable. The lighting and sound was good. The only complaint I have about the theater is they need hand railings going down the steps to get to the seats for the elderly and those with walking challenges!

We just returned from our exciting day there with the future city program! A wonderful place to discover science and have a great time!

At first I was doubtful that there was enough here to keep my 5 year old engaged for 4-5 hours. I was wrong--she was busy until the end. There are lots of cool activities that have been developed here, unfortunately there is a general lack of maintenance and many things don't work. Not exactly what you expect after $28 admission for 1 child and 1 adult. Don't misunderstand me, the place was clean, but the day to day staff isn't fixing things that should be taken out or fixed. For parking, the street seemed to be best at $4 per hour plus a $0.35 transaction fee. Ended up spending about $21 to park...the Walnut Street garage would have been $30 once I crossed the 4 hour line. It's salty, but it's downtown Harrisburg, so the options are what they are. The coolest thing in here right now by far is the robot arm in the basement. I enjoyed it, and I got my 5 year old to do it successfully with some instructions.

Initially came to this area for Hershey park, but that plan got washed out with thunder storms...so I needed a indoor activity getaway and Whitaker Center for Science worked out great it's a large facility with plenty of things to do ranging from IMAX theatre and three floors of hand's on learning exhibits in many areas of Science that will keep everyone entertained from toddler to adults! They even have a Hurricane chamber! Which was awesome! While it's no Hershey park it's still a great all day event especially on those stormy weather day's!
