Calling all aspiring astronomers!
Get ready for an evening of starry fun at the Science Centre—no grown-ups allowed!
On Saturday, May 13, from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m., we are hosting Kids’ Night Out for children ages 5 to 12. We’ll be taking a close look at stars, constellations and the stories of the night sky.
Participants will enjoy star-themed science activities, demonstrations and crafts alongside other children in their age group. They will learn the stories behind the constellations visible in May, make their own constellation crafts and more.
Since participants are sure to work up a hearty appetite with all this fun, we’ll be serving pizza and treats.
Price: $55 per child including HST, $50 for members (Planetary, Stellar, Galactic or Cosmic levels only).
