Happy NOON Year!

NOON Year's Eve

Wednesday, Dec 31
11 AM to 2 PM
Free with membership or admission


Ring in the New Year at NOON with our annual New Year’s Eve celebration. Each year we count down to noon with not one, but two balloon drops!


We’ll also host our annual Egg Drop Challenge, where participants engineer “spacecraft” to protect their brave “egg-stronauts” during a crash landing. Whether the egg survives or splats, we cheer for every launch, because that’s what scientific exploration is all about!
