Saturday Science at the Discovery Center is fun for the whole family! Come learn all about your favorite Discovery Center topics, right on our site!

New Theme Each Month!

Each month will bring a new theme for the Saturdays in the Park activities. We'll be drawing material from some of our most popular classes, as well as presenting fun new lessons for children of all ages. These entertaining educational activities are designed to complement the curriculum being taught in your student's elementary classroom, helping them get ahead on their science studies this fall.

"We are very excited about these upcoming events," said Janet Berry, Executive Director of The Discovery Center. "We want to make coming to The Discovery Center on Saturday something special. Years ago we had Saturday Science, but it was a more formal venue. Now, no pre-registration is required; the more kids the better!

Use The Discovery Center's Favorite Learning Tools!

Saturdays in the Park will also feature other Discovery Center favorites, such as our six-foot dinosaur that children can construct themselves. They'll also have access to finishing nets for exploring Walden Pond, and other fun activities.


Come have fun at The Discovery Center this Saturday!

Saturdays in the Park will be taking place during all of the fall and spring months, weather permitting. Upcoming monthly themes tentatively include structures, native studies, the human body, animal mania, ecology studies, and bubbles and colors.
