Winterval

Escape cabin fever at Science Central for Winterval 2012. Enjoy half price admission, cool Ice Age activities, from 10:00 am to 5:00p.m.

Warm up inside Science Central while learning about the Ice Age. At the Atlatl toss, children will explore how primitive people hunted for food. Guests will also have the opportunity to make Glacial Gak (A.K.A.Slime). For some super-cold fun, guests can enjoy tasty, liquid-nitrogen ice cream. Bring a rock or shell from home to trade in The Swap Shop, where cool fossils will be featured. 

The Community Center’s Winter Carnival is expanding this year to include more locations, more hours and much more fun! On Saturday, January 28, beat the winter blahs by bringing the whole family downtown for snow crafts and activities, ice carving demonstrations and yummy treats to warm you inside and out.
