Behind the Scenes Science

 Join us Monday-Friday at 10am on our Facebook page to get a behind the scenes look at our animals, witness awesome science experiments (some you can even try at home!), and see what we're up to. Live Videos will be held Monday, Wednesday, and Friday while Pre-Recorded Videos will be posted Tuesday and Thursday.

While our physical location may be temporarily closed to help prevent the spread of COVID-19, we are still committed to bringing you engaging educational programming online. Open or closed, care of our animals happens every day at the center. This includes feeding, giving them human interaction and bonding, and ensuring all their enclosures are clean. If you're interested in sponsoring one of our animals to help offset the cost of their care and food, please visit our animal sponsorship page. With the museum temporarily closed, your science center needs you more than ever! As an independent 501(c)3 nonprofit, we could not do what we do without the support of our loyal donors, members, and patrons. Please visit this page if you'd like to make a donation to the center. We appreciate every donation, big or small, to help our animals and our center through these uncertain times.
