Buehler Challenger & Science
Private
The Buehler Challenger & Science Center is a nonprofit science-education center on the Bergen Community College campus in Paramus and part of the global Challenger Learning Center network. Its summer camps put children into simulated space missions in a shuttle simulator and mission control, alongside rocketry, space lab experiments, flight design, hands-on robotics and engineering-design projects. The center's signature simulated missions are aimed at students in grades 5 and up; it also runs school field trips, scout programs, birthday parties and after-school enrichment.

★★★★★Ms. A. CoutoMy students and I had the best time here! This was our first time and we all agreed it was our favorite trip ever! The activities were so engaging for them. We did several activities- all hands on which my fourth graders love and need! The staff was super friendly and had extra surprises for us prepared! We loved it & cannot wait to return. Thank you BCSC!!
★★★★★nicholas yannacoAwesome 4th grade field trip!
★★★★Dj HannonThe experience was wonderful. The rush of being on a ship and in mission control is so awesome. The st aff was nice too. The only reason why this review was not five stars was because the gift shop was extremely over priced, for my liking at least. Everything else was nice.
★★★★★Hanna-Lee Harjono (Hanna)Our eighth grade class went here recently, and we had an amazing experience. The missions are extremely realistic. We went into a "simulation" where we were "traveling to Mars" to replace the astronauts that were already at Mars. All in all, I give this a five star rating! Go there for yourself and see.
