Our operations will look a little different.
The health and safety of everyone who walks through our doors has always been our top priority. We have developed a plan that is guided by recommendations from public health officials and from the best practices of museums throughout the country. We will be welcoming back guests at a slow, methodical pace and will monitor operations in real time, making adjustments along the way. Please take time to review our complete Adjusted Operating Policies.
The Lab will be hosting summer campers Monday through Friday during the entire summer beginning June 21. Weekends will be open to guests at a reduced capacity and offered two hour, timed-entry sessions.
The Children’s Science Center Lab is open to the public Saturdays and Sundays from 10:00 am - 12:00 pm and 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm. We strongly encourage you purchase your tickets in advance. Tickets will be available on the Wednesday two weeks before that weekend. PURCHASE TICKETS HERE.
