The Chronicles of Narnia at the Arizona Science Center

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Exhibition at the Arizona Science Center
Arizona Science Center is thrilled to premiere The Chronicles of Narnia: The Exhibition, a state-of-the-art educational exhibition based on the film series and C.S. Lewis’ beloved fictional books. The excitement of the stories is brought to life in immersive scenes that feature authentic costumes, props and set dressings from the films portraying the wonderful world of Narnia. The exhibition explores the science and natural history behind the mythical world of Narnia and stewardship for our own environment.

The journey begins in a recreation of C.S. Lewis’ personal study, featuring real artifacts from Lewis himself. Visitors then step into the famous attic wardrobe that transports them to the wintry world of Narnia featured in the first film, “The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe,” complete with falling snow, cold wind and the White Witch’s ice palace.
Explore more than 300 hands-on exhibits and IMAX.
