We invite you on Thursday, February 12, from 3:30 pm to 5:00 pm for a special Explorers Society Playdate. 

This exclusive after-hours drop-in opportunity is no charge for you and your kids, and grants access to the first floor of the Science Center.

What is on the first floor?
Your kids will get to experience everything from towering dinosaurs in Fossil Frontiers to landing on the moon in early explorations. As well as becoming part of the band in soundBox and letting their creativity run wild in our makerspace.

This visit introduces you to the Explorers Society—a dedicated community of supporters who believe science should be accessible to everyone. Together, they spark curiosity, champion learning, and help expand access for families, students, and educators across our region.

There is no obligation to join. This is simply an opportunity to explore, ask questions, and consider how your support could help shape the future of science learning in our community.

We hope you will join us and discover what makes the Explorers Society a meaningful way to engage with Adventure Science Center. - Explorers Society Chair, Nicki McGowan
