Fall Break is just a few short weeks away, and we are so excited! We have fun events planned that the entire family can enjoying beginning November 24. We'll be open special hours that week, so come by to have a blast and celebrate the break. We're marking 10 years in our Memorial Parkway location on the 24th, so we will be open that Sunday from 1-4 p.m. to mark the meteoric occasion. Every good celebration includes cake, so stop by and grab a slice. Admission is free for all guests on this day; think of it as our gift to you for your continued patronage and support over the last decade...we wouldn't be here with you, so let's cell-ebrate and raise a beaker to another year of STEM fun at your museum! RSVP & additional info here.
Can't make it out on Sunday? No worries, we've got you covered Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday. We'll be open from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. each of these days, and we have our Fall for All workshops for your family to attend...you don't want to miss all the hands-on fun--it'll be a gourd time! There will be a new activity each day, and access to these workshops is included with general admission pricing (that means its free for current Science Center members to participate). We also have military discounts available. If you'd like to RSVP to help us determine the amount of materials needed for each workshop, we would apple-solutely appreciate it.
