The science center will stay open late every second Saturday, increasing access for guests and time to explore. The last Saturday of the month, guests can enjoy a variety of drop-in labs that allow guests to participate in hands-on science individually or with friends and family.

“The new programs and schedules are representative of the many exciting changes and innovative projects going on at Adventure Science Center. We’re always looking for ways to improve our unique experience, to keep it relevant, and to inspire people to embrace science in new ways,” said Steve Hinkley, President & CEO.
