80th Birthday Bash – On Halloween!

Friday, October 31st | 9:00 am to 3:00 pm

🎉 We’re Turning 80! 🎉

This October 31, Adventure Science Center celebrates eight decades of wonder, curiosity, and fun!

Join us for a spook-tacular birthday bash packed with hands-on activities inspired by 1945—the year we first opened our doors. Costumes encouraged (no masks or weapons, please).

Event activities are included with general admission.

 Activities include:

📦 Time Capsule Throwback
Step into 1945! We've been digging in the archives and can't wait for you to see what we found.

🍬 M&M Fireworks
Watch colors burst as you explore candy dyes and how the iconic M&M has changed since our opening year.

🌀 DIY Silly Putty
Accidents can lead to awesome! Make your own Silly Putty and learn how one WWII experiment (trying to create synthetic rubber) turned into a toy-box legend.

🪀 Slinky Science 
From a shipyard stumble to a toy sensation—discover the twisty physics of the Slinky.
