Ride The Wire

We’re Bringing the Bike Back!

For generations, the suspended bike high above the exhibit floor has been one of the most memorable experiences for Science Central visitors. Through the Ride the Wire Campaign, we’re bringing this iconic exhibit back as part of our Catalyst Year of Change.

Together — We Got This!

Our goal is to raise $150,000 to restore the High Rail Bike, reimagined as the High Wire Bike, and support Science Central’s future. The first $75,000 will fund engineering, fabrication, installation, safety systems, and exhibit redevelopment needed to safely return the bike. An accessible companion experience will also be developed to enable more visitors to engage with the exhibit.

Funds raised beyond the initial goal will support Science Central’s exhibits, educational programs, outreach initiatives, and long-term sustainability.

Ride the Wire is a community-powered campaign. Every contribution helps bring back a beloved experience while investing in accessible, hands-on science learning for future generations.
