Register for any or all of the fall semester Lab Days HERE.
Welcome to our lab, where scientific wonders come to life! Lab Days are the place where family learning groups engage in science inquiry, hands-on exploration, and family networking opportunities. Become the scientist and explore new themes each month through science shows, labs, and play in our exhibits.
These days will function similarly to our STEM Tours for schools, focusing on a specific theme each month. We ask that a parent/adult be present with children while in the Museum.
