Exciting News for Discover Science Saturdays
We’re thrilled to announce new times and special pricing for our Discover Science Saturdays! In our commitment to inspire and cultivate a scientifically engaged community, we are lowering admission to just $12 per guest on Discover Science Saturdays (still free for members!). This change is designed to enhance accessibility for all, making it easier for families and individuals to explore the wonders of science together. Join us for a day filled with discovery and fun, and let’s fuel our passion for learning.
Theme: Microscopy. Get ready to dive into the tiny world of microscopes where the fun is magnified! Prepare to leaf your worries behind as we explore the microscopic wonders of plants and insects. With our trusty microscopes, we’ll uncover the secrets hiding within leaves, stems, and flowers and examining insects up close and personal. You'll also get to the root of the matter with our stomata printing activity. Whether you’re a budding botanist or an insect enthusiast, our microscope exploration promises to be an *eye-opening* experience. Pop on over to sciPad to enjoy games during your visit, too!
