Grab your tickets for our first-ever Family Science Night on this Thursday, July 11th from 5-7 PM. Walk-ins are welcome, but advance tickets are encouraged.
Come rotate through these stations and engage in fun science activities:
· Raves for REPTILES! – Learn more about what makes snakes, lizards, turtles and other reptiles unique and visit with some real, live ones up close!
· Nature Journaling – Decorate the cover of your own nature journal (provided, one per visitor) and then try your hand at sketching some flowers and insects in our pollinator garden.
· Exploring Cetacean Photo Identification – Learn about how marine mammal researchers tell individual dolphins and whales apart and how humpback whales get their names. Then create your own whale tail pattern and give it a name!
· Pollinators are the Bomb! – Make your own seed bombs containing native plant seeds to take home and help you create important habitat for bees, butterflies and more in your own yard!
· SORT IT OUT Science Game – Use natural objects we provide to investigate the scientific practice of classification.
· Nature Stories – Come relax to readings of specially selected nature-inspired storybooks.
· PLUS Explore our science exhibits, go on a Science Center scavenger hunt and more!
This program is recommended for science lovers 4 years old and up accompanied by their caregivers.
