Sloan Museum of Discovery and Longway Planetarium are overseen by the non-profit Flint Institute of Science and History with a shared mission to engage communities on a learning journey in history and science. Located within the Flint Cultural Center Campus in Flint, Michigan, Sloan Museum of Discovery opened July 16, 2022, with four primary hands-on learning galleries and one exhibition hall for special traveling exhibits.

The new Sloan Museum of Discovery is nearly twice the size at 107,000 square feet and completely re-built into a re-imagined world-class, hands-on science and history museum. Longway Planetarium is a 129-seat venue with Digistar 7 projection and suround sound audio. It is Michigan's largest planetarium and runs programming for space and science, animated and full-dome shows, and laser and light shows.
