Visiting Impression 5 is a great way for kids of all ages to learn about the wonders of science. Students can explore several fun hands-on exhibits and learn about chemistry, biology,  physics, and solar energy. They can also explore the properties of sight, sound, and perception. The learning never ends!

There are eleven (11) fantastic, hands-on scientific workshops that your group may choose to participate in! They include: Crystals, Simple Machines, Water, Electricity, Light, Germs , Circuit Builders , Slime and many more! To sign up for a workshop, indicate which one(s) you want to attend when you make your group reservation. All workshops are offered every day, but are subject to staff availability.

There are two lunch areas available where you can store brown bag lunches and sit down and eat.  There are also drink and snack vending machines with a limited selection.  There is a $10 fee for use of either area, which you must reserve in advance when booking your visit.  If you'd like, we can arrange for Domino's Pizza to deliver lunch to your group.  Ask our Reservations Coordinator about options and prices. 

All students will receive the base group admission rate of $4.00.  Any workshop fees apply only to the students participating in the activity.  All adult chaperones receive free admission. Click here for a pdf version of our Educator Guide.
