Science in Play gallery
Saturday May 26th - January 1, 2013
Normal Hours
Louisville Science Center
A new exhibit specially designed to encourage science learning through the lens of play for children ages 3-7 and their caregivers. It celebrates the innate curiosity in children and connects science to everyday play.
Science in Play is a customized new exhibit, commissioned by and built specifically for the Science Center. It will serve as a test bed for a comprehensive upgrade of the Science Center's first floor to an expanded early childhood zone. This first phase will encompass 5,800 square feet and will be divided into six separate activity zones: The Sensory Course, Testing Area, Big Build, Small Build, Science Depot, and Shapes & Stuff Store. Rich in loose parts, sensory and intuitive materials, children and their caregivers will be invited to build, test, imagine, problem solve and engineer, behaving and thinking like scientists-all while playing. Signage will be designed and used to assist caregivers in interpreting play as learning. The experience will ultimately span about 12,000 square feet and is anticipated to open in 2014.
Admission to the exhibit is free with museum admission, which is $13 for adults, $11 for children ages 2-12, and free for Science Center members.
For more information about the new Science at Play exhibit, go to www.LouisvilleScience.org.
