Join a Worldwide Franchise Network
Nutty Scientists has franchised locations in more than 40 countries across the globe and our reach continues to expand every day. Each franchisee plays a special role in their community, but their main responsibility is to enhance children’s lives by making science fun.

Choose from two franchise models:
The Home-Based Opportunity

This is a great opportunity to start small with a lower investment level. It gives franchisees the ability to deliver proprietary science programs, workshops, camps and shows inside classrooms and at various other community locations.
The Nutty Scientists Lab
Our enrichment and creativity centers offer franchisees the ability to provide all of the services of a home-based opportunity as well as a place to call their own. The location will become a community hub where children of all ages can come to learn scientific concepts in a playful, fun, yet structured atmosphere.
