We hope you will join us for these exciting happenings throughout the year!

Please check back regularly or visit our calendar as we are always adding new events and programs.

Come see our magical museum in a whole new light!

Every Friday in December the museum stays open until 7:00 pm for Light Nights!

Our Light Nights will delight as we crank up the voltage and put a bright spotlight on all of the light-based learning, holiday hi-jinx and brain-building fun that takes place here every day during our Worldwide Community Lights Celebration.

And we’re also offer FREE warm beverages to all visitors to keep you toasty and cozy during these magical evenings. Regular admission policies apply during Light Nights.

We look forward to seeing you often this month!
