This October 31, Adventure Science Center (ASC) celebrates eight decades of wonder, curiosity and fun!
Families are invited to bring their costumed kiddos (no masks or weapons) for a “spook-tacular” 80th birthday bash packed with hands-on activities inspired by 1945 — the year the ASC first opened their doors.
Adventure Science Center 80th Birthday Bash Activities:
- Time Capsule Throwback: Step into 1945! They’ve been digging in the archives and can’t wait for you to see what they found.
- UV + SPF Exploration: See the science behind sunscreen! Experiment with UV light to discover how SPF keeps your skin safe from the sun.
- Polymer Power: Meet sodium polyacrylate — the “super soaker” material behind everything from diapers to kitty litter! Dive into polymer science and its surprising origins.
- M&M Fireworks: Watch colors burst as you explore candy dyes and how the iconic M&M has changed since their opening year.
- DIY Silly Putty: Accidents can lead to awesome! Make your own Silly Putty and learn how one WWII experiment (trying to create synthetic rubber) turned into a toy-box legend.
- Slinky Science: From a shipyard stumble to a toy sensation — discover the twisty physics of the Slinky.
Event activities are included with general admission ($22 for adults 13 and older; $18 for ages 2 – 12).
