About the Event

Activities, events and times subject to change.

Get ready for an outdoor science extravaganza with Picnic Science – a thrilling series of ongoing workshops set against the backdrop of The W.T. & Louise J. Moran Foundation Picnic Tables near the EcoStation!

Be part of the action by signing up with our dynamic educator right at the workshop location. Since we're all about having a blast outdoors, these workshops are weather permitting.

Prepare for a takeover of excitement as we sometimes commandeer the Power Science Lab for exclusive and electrifying workshops! These special sessions, hosted frequently in the Power Science Lab, may come with sign-up opportunities or age restrictions, adding an extra layer of thrill to your science adventure!
