Spooky Science Sleepover
Friday, October 29, 2010
A frightfully-fun evening guaranteed to make your hair stand on end…literally! Dig into the legend of Frankenstein as you learn about electricity, make fake blood and wands, and experience the thrills of the darkness in the Rangos Omnimax Theater. We’ll even give you a piece of our mind as we prepare an edible brain. It’s a deliciously gross, ghastly-good time to be had by all young witches, wizards, and monsters!

Light-Up Night Sleepover
Friday, November 19, 2010
Begin your holiday season with a bang! If you’re looking for the best view of the downtown lights for this special night, look no further. And what’s more, we’ve got some demonstrations and science to make this a spectacular evening. Illuminate the secrets of pyrotechnics in our explosive presentation of fireworks science, try your own colorful glow-in-the-dark reactions, and more. It’s festive, fiery, and full of fun!

Polar Express Sleepover

Your ticket to getting into the holiday spirit is just a train ride away with our Polar Express Sleepover! See The Polar Express: An IMAX Experience, make a wish when you see The Christmas Star in the Buhl Digital Planetarium, and participate in tons of holiday fun.
