What’s to come in 2024...

- Mission: Astronaut | Saturday, Feb. 17-Sunday, March 28 | This space-themed exhibit will feature a NASA live stream of Earth from the International Space Station along with Cinematic Space Projections. Participants will be tackling STEM challenges and simulate space missions.
- Dogs! A Science Tail | June 1-Sept. 2 | Coming this summer, the event will explore the relationship between dogs + their owners, where our furry friends come from, and how to care for our companions.
...and beyond
As the museum heads into its next decade, its focus will include enriching neighboring communities through museum + educator partnerships, outreach programs, diving deeper into the science of play with kids of different backgrounds, Artist in Residents programs, and more rotating exhibits.
