Here are just a few of the highlights:
• Frosty the Faux Man: We have snow that never melts! What is it made of? Build a snowman out of our amazing faux snow.
• Arctic Architecture: Use milk cartons to make an indoor igloo. There’s snow place like home!
• TP Blizzard: Be in the atrium of Governors Hall at noon when you visit. You will be blanketed by a blizzard of toilet paper! Spectacular fun—no shovels required.
• Slap Shot Hockey: Our ice rink is missing just one thing: real ice. Our high-tech synthetic polymer surface is smooth, slippery, and slap-shot ready! Kids 10 and under should drop by and try it. (On Dec. 30, a rep from the New Jersey Devils will visit and give us some slap-shot pointers!)
• Snowflake Construction: Young learners and their grown-ups can build a giant snowflake out of PVC pipes.
• Liquid Nitrogen Ice Cream: Learn how we use supercold liquid nitrogen to make this tasty treat, and maybe try a taste. (Dec. 21-24, 2:00 pm; Dec. 31 – Jan. 2, 11:00 am, 2:00 pm)
• Laser Wonderland: End the day with a spectacular, 40-minute laser show set to some favorite holiday and winter-themed songs, featuring the Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Eurythmics, Mariah Carey, and more. Surround yourself in amazing laser imagery and special effects, created by the world’s most sophisticated, high-tech laser system. (Dec. 20 – 23, 4:15 pm; Dec. 26 – Jan. 2, 5:15 pm)
• 3D Print a Snowflake: Come to the MakerLab and see how 3D printing works. Print a snowflake to take home! (Dec. 27 – 29).
Throughout the 12 Days, we will have winter-themed Story Times and labs, chances to meet African penguins (Dec. 27 – 29) and live owls (Dec. 30), plus your last chance to visit Bodies Revealed and Curious George: Let’s Get Curious! during their time at LSC. You can even meet Curious George in person, December 28 & 29. Watch this page for more specifics. Check the Events Calendar for the day you plan to visit, and see what wintry fun is in store!
