Pave the Way at Quest Plaza

Quest Plaza at Stockmen’s Park is Quest Science Center’s 5,000-square-foot outdoor science exploration and community space in downtown Livermore. Designed as a shaded, accessible gathering place, Quest Plaza hosts programs such as Science@Stockmen’s Park, Quest Sparks, special events, music, and partner organization activities for all ages. As a community-first science center, Quest continues to use Quest Plaza as a hub for hands-on exploration, outdoor learning, and creative engagement with science and engineering across the Tri-Valley.

Quest Science Center is deeply grateful to the City of Livermore for their support in developing this space, and to La Roza Construction for bringing the project to life. We extend special appreciation to Fremont Bank, the naming sponsor of Quest Plaza, as well as to our many community donors whose early contributions helped create this initial home for Quest’s programs.

We also thank Topcon Positioning Systems for donating our on-site weather station, which provides real-time data for future activities. The current weather is displayed at the time this page is loaded.

From 2021–2023, more than 200 engraved bricks were contributed by community members through our Pave the Way campaign. These bricks, now installed at the entrance to Quest Plaza, honor individuals, families, organizations, and partners who supported the early development of Quest’s public programming. Although the brick campaign has concluded, the plaza continues to stand as a visible reminder of the community’s belief in Quest’s mission and future.

Quest Plaza remains a key space for engaging families across the region and for building the foundation of our long-term vision for a community-connected science center. Thank you for supporting our mission to connect everyone to the value of science.
