Laissez les bons temps rouler!

Roll into the Exploreum and celebrate the Mardi Gras season with our Krewe of Young Explorers Mardi Gras ball. From colorful science experiments, exciting music and dancing to Mardi Gras throws galore, this is a celebration you won’t want to miss. Located in the heart of Downtown Mobile, the Mardi Gras ball revelers will be in the perfect spot to catch the parade to roll right by our building!
