Families with children ages 5 and under are invited to drop in at Early Explorers on Friday, Feb. 7, from 10 a.m. to noon. Create and discover with hands-on activities, and explore the galleries.
Junior Curators, designed for children 6 and older with an adult, will be held on Saturday, Feb. 8, from 2 to 4 p.m. Drop in anytime to design and test a model ice box, discover the science of freshwater ice, create your own ice-themed art and explore the galleries with a scavenger hunt.
Family Day: Ice is scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 22, from noon to 4 p.m. Visitors can meet ice researchers, investigate ice science with the Fresh Eyes on Ice project, explore the importance of ice to ÀÖ»¢Ö±²¥ history and cultures, create ice art and more. There is no admission fee for children 17 and under on Family Day thanks to support from TOTE.
