Science Exploration Station

M-F 9am to 3pm
All Ages

Discover science through hands-on experiences the whole family can enjoy together.

Our Science Exploration Station is where weekly themes come to life through creative, age-appropriate projects designed to spark curiosity and conversation. Each week we set out at least two different science activities, typically differentiated for younger and older learners, so children can explore at a level that fits them best.

Every project connects to the current theme of the center, helping families dive deeper into exciting topics through making, observing, building, and investigating.

Past activities have included building bird nests, creating models of Earth’s core, observing bugs up close, and other interactive science challenges that turn learning into an experience.

Families are welcome to complete the projects together at their own pace, making it easy for parents and children to learn side-by-side.

Want a little extra guidance? Join us for one of our Science Discovery Moments, where we gather for a short led experience to introduce the project, share fun facts, ask questions, and bring the science to life.

Our goal is to make science approachable, memorable, and fun — giving families simple ways to explore big ideas together.
