Join us for a new program for curious little explorers. Simple, safe, science and nature experiments to grow your budding scientist! Explore the world of color and create secret messages. These are just some of the fun, hands-on activities you and your child will enjoy doing together while you learn basic scientific principles.
Designed for families and their children aged 4-6. You bring the curiosity, we'll provide the smocks: This is active and interactive science, so children may get messy. Limited to first 15 adult-child pairs per session.
There are two identical sessions and attendance is on a first-come, first-served basis. Please pick up a ticket for your session at the Information Desk when you arrive at the museum.
