Join us on January 18th from 2pm to 4pm for the special closing celebration of The Amazing Castle and Framed: Step into Art. During this limited time, families/teams can participate in the Great Dinosaur Race around the Exploreum to try and win a 3D-printed dinosaur egg containing a secret surprise ranging from Gift Shop gift certificates to admission passes. The first family/team to complete the race will win a Mini Plus Family Membership.

All participating families/teams will receive a raffle ticket for a chance to win other great prizes.

Starting at 2pm, participating teams will receive a list of different exciting STEM activities they must race to complete all around the Exploreum. From STEM challenges in the AM/NS STEM lab to chemistry fun in the Science Squad Headquarters, guests will explore the wonders of science learning as they rush to the finish line. There will also be special magical challenges in the Amazing Castle and Framed: Step Into Art. The Education team will be stationed around the building leading the different experiments and activities. The first five families/teams that complete the entire list of STEM activities win a dino egg!

An honorary reception is scheduled for before this incredible exhibit closes.
Join us for a special evening as we celebrate two immensely influential artists, at an honoring reception for Catt Prints: An Exhibition for the Photography of Catt Sirten and Jerry Roldan: A Retrospective.
We are privileged to honor the profound contributions these artists have made to our city through their unique perspectives and artistic visions. Despite working in vastly different mediums, styles, and subject matters, both artists offer viewers a deeply personal and transformative experience. Their work allows for interpretation and impact that resonates individually, much as it did for the artists themselves.
We invite you to immerse yourself in the rich history of their artistic careers, explore their powerful legacies, and celebrate the lasting imprint they have left on our community. We look forward to sharing this unforgettable experience with you.

Step into the world of giant scientific discovery with the opening day celebration of the newest rendition of our in-house exhibit, Illusions, on Saturday, February 8th. Tiny explorers can join us as we explore the immense world of bugs, plants, and animals through thrilling science demonstrations and adventurous hands-on activities and experiments. We will have a special showing of Honey, I Shrunk the Kids at 12:00pm in our Digital Dome Theater.
