Parents' Morning Out 2012  – NEW!

Need to run an errand or get to the gym without the kids in tow?  Starting this January, the Museum of Life and Science is offering Parents' Morning Out – an opportunity for you to get some "me" time, and for your kids to have a fun, educational experience at the museum.

We'll spend time exploring the exhibits and doing engaging science activities that are designed to spark their curiosity and imagination. Each month will focus on a theme, with new activities every week!

 * Please dress your child in comfortable clothing and closed-toe shoes for indoor and outdoor Museum exploration and send your child with a snack, water bottle and an extra change of clothes. All children must be fully potty trained to participate in Parents' Morning Out.
