Visit the Museum of Science for a science-based show the whole family will love. Presentations range from super-cold science, live animals and ecology, archaeology and more. Arrive 10 minutes early to secure a seat.

This program is typically offered in the fall. Always check the museum's daily schedule to see current live presentations.

After the presentation is done, continue to explore the rest of the museum. The Discovery Room, the Hall of Human Life and the Engineering Design Workshop all offer pop-up activities you may also enjoy.

For free admission, consider reserving museum passes from your local library. If you really enjoy your visit, you can also get a membership $100-$235, which pays for itself after a few visits. Premium members get 2 hours of free parking. Otherwise parking (in their attached lot) ranges from $15-$40.
