Family Science Days are special events held at our partner institutions each year for students who are part of Urban Advantage. These days welcome UA students and their families to explore, learn, and engage with UA staff at each institution.
Family Science Days are spread out during the school year. You can visit one or visit all! Each institution has something unique to offer. Visit a zoo to learn about animals, visit a garden to explore plants, or explore a museum and all its exhibits. Free entry is provided at all Family Science Days with a special flyer sent home by your UA student’s school. Dates for each event are released at the beginning of each school year. Mark your calendars!
