February Vacation Week
Outer Space at the EcoTarium- February Vacation Week 2010
Saturday, February 13 - Sunday, February 21
(closed Monday, February 15)
Houston - Sesame Street has landed...at the EcoTarium!
In the Alden Digital Planetarium:
New! One World, One Sky: Big Bird's Adventure
Elmo and Big Bird live in the United States and Hu Hu Zhu lives in China. Watch as they discover that they see the same stars at night! Opening February 13, 2010
Check out an EcoTarium favorite, Cosmic Collisions, and experience a thrilling trip through space and time to see the explosive encounters that shaped our solar system.
Tickets: $5 per person, $4 EcoTarium members
Throughout the Museum:
Exploration into outer space continues with interactive space themed activities. Create your own parachuted (and chocolate filled!) mars lander and see if it survives a chancy landing at the EcoTarium. Hold the solar system in your hands as you create play dough planets and discover the tiny pinprick of mass that is leftover by the time you reach Pluto. Plus, make your own paper fortune teller to foretell moon phases.
Vacation Week activities are FREE with museum admission!
