For Families
Calling all future astronauts - your training mission starts here! Get ready to explore space through hands‑on activities, games, and creative challenges for the whole family.
Code your own Mars rover, launch a stomp rocket (weather permitting), discover space using augmented reality, and play a space‑themed game inspired by Spot It! Along the way, you’ll learn fun facts about space science while working together and trying something new.
Come ready to explore, experiment, and blast off into a world of discovery!
This is a drop-in program for families with children of all ages and their caregiver.
