weekend Science - Peachtree City
YOUNG EXPLORERS' LABS - PEACHTREE CITY
Little kids are natural scientists! Our Young Explorers (ages 3-5) and their adult partner use lab tools to conduct science experiments, explore nature and create science-based art. In addition to introducing our Young Explorers to scientific concepts, we also work on fine motor skills, encourage sensory play, and help develop critical thinking skills through our hands-on experiments and activities. Fun for kids and adults! At least one adult partner must attend.
Ages 3-5
Mondays and Saturdays - 10:00-10:45am
Location: Discover Science Center - Peachtree City
$15/kid (50% sibling discount)
Masks are recommended, but not required. Limited to eight Young Explorers and their adult partners.
