The Science Center houses an IMAX theater, Dorrance Planetarium, special touring exhibits, and a permanent collection of all things scientific. Special “Stroller Science” (for kids ages 3-5) and “Family Program” dates focus on wonders such as the sun and lightning storms. Family Event dates highlight subjects such as Earth Day, Astronomy Day and National Sense of Smell Day (yes, this “holiday” really exists!), where kids and parents can learn about the Earth with take home crafts, discover how comets are formed, and enter the Odor Eaters Rotten Sneaker contest, in that order. Birthday parties are an adventure here, where kids get to choose their party's theme, from “Under the Sea” to “Robots in Space.” |
