Have Unbe-leaf-able Science Fun at Fall for All
Autumn is in the air, and we’re falling for science! This Fall Break, the Emerald Coast Science Center is bringing back Fall for All with four days of hands-on activities, animal encounters, interactive science, and plenty of opportunities for the whole family to explore.
Join us November 23, 24, 25, and 27 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. for a fall break filled with science, creativity, and fun. With something new happening each day, there’s always a reason to come back for more!
Fall for All admission is $15 per person. Admission includes access to our special hands-on workshops, Creature Features, sciPad, and all of our regular exhibits. The special admission helps us cover the additional supplies, materials, and staff needed to provide these hands-on experiences. Military discounts are available.
Please note that the workshops are not drop-off activities. They are designed for kids and their grown-ups to enjoy together. Space for workshops, sciPad, and Creature Features is first come, first served. RSVPs help us plan for the number of guests and make sure we have plenty of materials, but registering online does not guarantee a spot.
We can’t wait to spend Fall Break with you!
