The Cox Science Center and Aquarium is hosting ‘Tis the Season for Science, a holiday event from November 24 to January 7. The center will offer daily activities between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. Visitors can enjoy a variety of holiday-themed events such as “Let it Snow” Planetarium Shows, Laser Light Holiday Shows, Frigid Science Demonstrations, and Winter Wonder STEM activities.
The center has over 100 hands-on educational exhibits, a 10,000-gallon aquarium, a digital planetarium, a Pre-K focused “Discovery Center,” an 18-hole conservation-themed Mini-Golf Course, and a quarter-mile-long outdoor science trail. One of the highlights of the center is the “Journey Through the Human Brain” exhibit that showcases cutting-edge neuroscience research.
Visitors can also catch live science shows at the Cox Amphitheater, as well as seasonal laser shows and special event programming. In late 2021, the center received a $20 million gift from Howard and Wendy Cox leading to a new name and capital expansion campaign. Construction is set to begin in late summer 2023 with a projected completion date of 2026. To support the center visit coxsciencecenter.org/support-us
