EcoTinker Science Stations

SUNDAY, MARCH 13 – TUESDAY, MAY 31 | OPEN DAILY

Explore the connection between STEM and nature at our science stations. Learn about the science of flight at 5 interactive stations. Consider questions like: How do birds fly? How have we adapted our own inventions based on flying animals? How does the shape of a wing affect flying, hunting, and where they live? How do planes fly?

Imagination Playground will return this year. We are proud to incorporate Imagination Playground materials into our stations for amazing educational engineering play. 

EcoTinker Science Stations open at the Flying into the Future Family Fun Day.

Purchase admission tickets in advance to secure a date and time for your visit. Members may also make advanced reservations. Spots are timed and limited, however, we may be able to accommodate walk-ups based on daily visitation.
