LightPlace

LightPlace is open Wednesday – Sunday from 9:30 am – 1 pm.

We have super cleaning protocols in place and have adjusted the operating procedures to help our young explorers learn safely. We will ask that guests:

  • Sanitize hands before entry.
  • Do not bring food or drinks into the gallery.
  • Observe space capacity of no more than three families or 15 people in the space at a time.
  • Place used toys in the Yuck Bucket so they can get a wash before coming back out to play.
  • Maintain a distance of at least six feet between other guests.
  • Be mindful that others may be waiting to visit the space and sharing is caring!

When the space is closed, you can still enjoy our Seek and Find adventure through the windows just outside The Dome! Scientists are excellent at making observations, but it takes practice! Build your observation muscles while searching for the 18 objects we’ve hidden in the exhibit!

 

LightPlace is a bright experience for our youngest scientists. This multi-faceted exploratory learning place promotes skill development in infants to 5-year-olds with age appropriate hands-on learning activities.

Engage your children to play, explore and learn in a setting that advances problem solving, social and environmental awareness, motor skills, sensory perception, object identification and introductory reading and math activities. Multi-sensory activities in LightPlace support developmental milestones that cultivate 21st century learning skill sets and science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) concepts.
