Tinkering Studio: Fall Forest

Weekends in November
11 AM to 2 PM
Free with membership or admission


Help us grow a cardboard forest! Join us in the Tinkering Studio to build and decorate your own fall tree while exploring the science behind the changing seasons: why leaves turn color, fall, and make way for new growth. Add your creation to our collaborative Fall Forest or take it home as a reminder of autumn’s wonder.

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 Noon Year’s Eve celebration! Each year we count down to noon with not one, but two balloon drops: a raucous celebration in the Main Gallery and a quieter, sensory-friendly countdown in Da Vinci’s Garage, where we whisper the numbers and celebrate with jazz hands instead of noise.


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!


No advance ticket sales are available for this event, so come early to beat the lines!
