Daily Program Info
Program Schedules
The daily program schedule is posted on the website, on digital displays around the museum, the admissions desk, and other key areas in the museum. We recommend bookmarking this page for easy reference while exploring the museum, or you can scan a QR code while in the museum.
Shows, activities, and times may be adjusted each month around holidays, events, or other special programming.
No Additional Cost
There is no additional cost to your admission at the museum to attend a program listed on the Daily Public Program Schedule. It is part of your ticket to the museum!
Please keep in mind that other specialty programs offered throughout the year may have advanced registration requirements, or an additional fee, to attend the program.
Attendance
All programs are offered on a first come first serve basis, and seats cannot be held in reserve. Programs with enclosed spaces such as the Do Lab, Science Theater, and Caryl D. Philips Space Theater have capacity limits that we must abide by for everyone's safety.
We require that all attendees under the age for 18 are accompanied by an adult in the museum and for any programs you attend. Keep this mind if you decide to split up your group.
Programs begin at the time designated on the schedule, and late entry may not be allowed depending on the program. We recommend arriving early! Please be aware that some programs have a policy of no re-entry once the program has begun for the safety and enjoyment of all.
Program Closure Notices
Programs may be cancelled due to maintenance, weather, construction, or for unexpected reasons. We do our best to keep you informed so that you can plan your visit to the museum.
Please check this page regularly for changes. Speak with staff at the admissions desk if you have any questions about our daily program schedule when you arrive. We apologize for the inconvenience.
