Join us at the Science Discovery Lab for daily drop-in programs offered at 11am or 3pm for hands-on science.

A new activity is offered every morning – you may get to experiment with electricity, build a parachute, or explore the fossil collection in the morning or examine skulls, test a paper rocket, or meet a live insect up close.

In the afternoon we’ll be featuring River Play. Explore rivers and watersheds with our summer exhibition Ocean Bound. Then get even more hands-on at the Science Discovery Lab as we make our own tabletop models of rivers and watch them form and change with time.
