We’re pulling out all the stops and kicking off our yearlong 50th anniversary celebration with a full day of our favorite science demonstrations and hands-on activities.
Here’s what to expect:
Hands-on Activities
Test out a few of our newest hands-on activities like Slime Race, Danger Beans, and Tippy Tower, and check out a few of our all-time-favorites, too.
Classic Science Demos
Pop by the Demonstration Stage or our front lobby throughout the day to catch classic science demos featuring our hair-raising Van de Graaff generator, super cool liquid nitrogen, and more! It’s the best of the best, all day long.
Can’t Miss Exhibits
Don’t miss out on gold penny chemistry in the SciLab, screen-printing in The Shed, and a bubble-filled water play in the Kids Room.
Walk Through time
Explore the history of the Maryland Science Center in our all new timeline exhibit featuring archival photos, videos, and a year-by-year look at how the Science Center has grown and evolved since our opening in 1976.
Food Trucks
Grab a bite to eat and a sweet treat while you’re here! Ruben’s—Home of the Best Burritos, and Kona Ice will be parked outside the Science Center all day.
