The theme of the first week of the break will be “Explore the Sun”. Build your own Parker Solar Probes, or a sun dial, and weather permitting do some solar viewing through the telescope.
Week two, they will “Explore the Moon” and celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon mission with a special craft project. They’ll also learn what it takes for astronauts to prepare for a mission to the moon with some special astronaut training activities.
No registration required. Spring Break activities are included with general admission and are recommended for children ages 7 and up.
No matter which sessions you attend, your kids’ will leave full of knowledge and wonder and won’t look at the sun and moon the same way again.
