Where Every Family Matters

“Tech The Halls” at Adventure Science Center

Holiday-themed technology activities, festive planetarium shows, Winter Break Camps and seasonal membership savings.

Adventure Science Center is celebrating the season in high-tech style with December’s monthly theme, Tech The Halls.

All month long, guests can enjoy technology-inspired activities woven throughout the exhibit spaces — inviting curious minds to tinker, code, build and explore the science that powers the holidays.

Families can make the most of the season with a limited-time membership offer: $10 off Gemini, Voyager, and Endeavour memberships using code OHWHATFUN through December 14.

In addition to the theme-month programming, Adventure Science Center will host a full lineup of festive events and experiences including:

  • Pop ’Til You Drop – Sudekum Planetarium – Saturday, December 13
    A lively laser show featuring pop hits and vibrant visuals to keep spirits bright.
  • Laser Holidays – Sudekum Planetarium – Saturday, December 20
    A dazzling mix of holiday music and laser magic for visitors of all ages.
  • Polaris PJ Party – Saturday, December 20 & Saturday, December 27
    This year’s Polaris PJ Party returns cozier and more wondrous than ever. After stargazing with Polaris, families can step into a winter wonderland of snowy science activities, sip hot cocoa topped with liquid nitrogen marshmallows, and enjoy a festive photo moment with James the penguin and Vladimir the polar bear. Each family receives a printed and digital keepsake photo to remember the magic.
  • Winter Break Camps: Let It Code – December 29 – January 2, 2026
    Celebrate the season with a week of festive tech fun! Campers will explore creative building, simple circuits, and beginner coding concepts through fun, holiday-themed activities tailored to learners from Kindergarten to 4th
