Space Day
Join us on Saturday, March 7 for Space Day!
Explore the final frontier at Space Day! Here at the museum, we love all things space – from rockets to astronauts to space food. On Space Day, guests will learn about what it’s like to go to space and be an astronaut. Bring your aspiring astronauts for a day of science fact, science fiction, and out-of-this-world science fun!
Space Day is designed to give children a glimpse into career possibilities in science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics (STEAM) while tapping into their natural curiosity about space and science through hands-on educational activities and programs.
