Science History Institute
Start with a fun picture book during storytime. Then explore our new Downstream exhibition using our self-guided activity sheet. Ask questions, find clues, and work together with your group to solve puzzles—and you just might earn a water-themed prize!
Close out your visit to our museum with a stop at our Object Explorer, an interactive touchtable where you can learn the history behind everyday objects like ice-cube trays.
Family Swim takes place once a month on Saturdays from October 2021 through February 2022.
Admission is free and no reservations are necessary.
