Childrens Science Explorium

About

Hands-on science exhibits let your kids explore rockets, molecules, and physics through interactive stations designed for ages 5 to 12. The Explorium sits inside Sugar Sand Park and stays free to visit, with air-conditioned indoor exhibits plus outdoor nature trails where you can grab an explorer's backpack loaded with binoculars and a scavenger hunt checklist. Drop in anytime during open hours, or sign your kid up for camps during school breaks, monthly Make & Takes, or programs like Friday Night at the Museum. The playground is massive with splash areas and equipment for all abilities, clean bathrooms are everywhere, and parents say there's genuinely enough here to spend a full day exploring.
