Students at exhibit on sound waves

Visit LIGO

Come experience one of only four gravitational-wave detectors in the world!

LIGO is extremely sensitive to vibrations so we are not open to the public outside of Science Saturdays.

Join us at LIGO Livingston for Science Saturdays, held the first Saturday of each month from 10 a.m.–4 p.m. Drop in anytime to explore 40+ interactive exhibits, tour the facility, and meet the scientists, engineers, and technicians who make LIGO possible.

What You’ll Experience

• Explore hands-on science exhibits

• Tour a world-class research facility

• Meet working scientists, engineers, and technicians

• Discover how LIGO listens to the universe
