Learn about some of our Animal Ambassadors during a Creature Feature! We have over 55 exotic animals that call the center home...which will you get to meet today? We like to bring out a wide variety of our creatures- each week we’ll focus on a new theme like invasive species, adaptations, food chains, and more.

Stop by every Monday and Wednesday at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. and Friday at 1 p.m. to get an up-close encounter with our critters. Safely interact with our animals and learn about the creatures that call the museum home in these fun presentations. SPACE AT THE CREATURE FEATURE AVAILABLE ON A FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED BASIS. REGISTERING ONLINE DOES NOT SECURE A SPOT.

sciPad featuring SMALLab Learning is an embodied learning environment where every learner is up, moving, and collaborating. You'll work together to solve puzzles, compete in trivia games, learn about the world, play memory and matching games, and so much more. Watch as our classroom becomes the fraction, letter, molecule, paintbrush, or playing piece in hundreds of educational activities...think of it like playing in an interactive, room-sized iPad. Ages 2 to 102 will have fun on the sciPad...it's unlike anything else!

We'll feature a new game each day during the summer for guests to experience:
•Mindful Memory Monday: Join us for fun memory challenges that help your brain grow stronger while working together to solve cool puzzles.
•Spectrum Sprint Tuesday: Zoom through the colors of light and energy in a race to explore the amazing world of the electromagnetic spectrum.
•Gear Up Wednesday: Hop on for an adventure into the world of gears and machines, where you'll see how they help bikes move and make heavy things lighter.
•Transmission Trek Thursday: Step into the shoes of a scientist and see how germs spread in this exciting activity that teaches you how to stay healthy.
•Sorting Challenge Friday: Put on your detective hat and get ready to sort, group, and organize in a fun and exciting way that will make you a classification pro.

sciPad is open from 1-3 p.m. Monday through Friday for guests to drop in and play as they please on their visit. As such, private reservations are not available. However, you can RSVP for a selected date to help us determine the number of guests to expect on your selected day.

Experience our exciting shows on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, featuring intriguing topics on space, history, and how various cultures around the globe view the night sky, both past and present! Be sure to inquire at the front desk during check-in for details on today's specific show. These shows are typically suitable for ages 5 and up.

On Tuesdays, check out the Young Astronauts show, and blast off to the planetarium in this show perfect for astronauts-in-training ages 3-5 from 2:00-2:30 p.m. All ages are welcome, but the focus on this show will be for the little ones to enjoy!

On Thursday, the interactive Global Soundscapes show is the place to be! Soundscapes takes you on a sound safari to explore the health of our planet...with your ears. Travel the globe with scientists to investigate the spectacular soundscapes of Costa Rica’s rainforests, Hawaii’s coral reefs, and Mongolia’s vast grasslands. Learn how animals use sounds to survive and communicate in lush, but threatened environments. Experience basic acoustics through interactive activities and incredible slow-motion footage of pulsating musical instruments, vibrating vocal cords, and slobbering “raspberries.” With Global Soundscapes’ unique format—combining full-dome imagery, surround sound, and live presentation—you’ll hear the Earth in a whole new way.
