Parents' Morning Out 2012–2013 

Parents' Morning Out

 

Need to run an errand or get to the gym without the kids in tow?  The Museum of Life and Science is offering Parents' Morning Out – an opportunity for you to get some "me" time, and for your kids to have a fun, educational experience at the museum.

 

We'll spend time exploring the exhibits and doing engaging science activities that are designed to spark their curiosity and imagination. Each month will focus on a theme, with new activities every day!

 

 

 * Please dress your child in comfortable clothing and closed-toe shoes for indoor and outdoor Museum exploration and send your child with a snack, water bottle and an extra change of clothes. All children must be fully potty trained to participate in Parents' Morning Out.
