Description

Mark the shortest day and longest night of the year by exploring the science and cultural significance of the solstice. Discover how animals adapt to seasonal changes in light and darkness, experiment with shadows and reflections, and learn how different cultures around the world honor the return of the sun. With hands-on activities and illuminating exhibits such as our StarLab, itโ€™s a bright way to welcome winterโ€™s arrival!

Included with general admission. Star Lab is available for an additional fee.
