Space Day

Event Description

Join us for the Museum’s biggest celestial event of the year as we celebrate all things space in an engaging and interactive environment for the whole family. Learn about the science, exploration, and beauty of space through exciting lectures, shows in the Lohman Planetarium, hands-on activities, paper rocket launching, and solar observing with telescopes in our front entrance courtyard (weather permitting). Throughout the Museum, there will be displays and activities from local clubs and organizations highlighting STEM in engaging ways. A food truck will also be set up in our courtyard loop for your enjoyment. We cannot wait to see you for this out-of-this-world event.
