Family Science Night

Join us for a fun night of science for the whole family! 

Move throughout the exhibit halls and our pollinator garden and visit hands-on, interactive stations that engage you and your children in science activities. Stations will include:

  • 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 or insects in our pollinator garden.

  • Exploring Cetacean Photo Identification - Learn about how marine mammal researchers tell individual dolphins and whales apart and how individual 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 pollinator 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. 

Explore our science exhibits. Go on a Science Center scavenger hunt and more!
