The South Florida Science Center and Aquarium in West Palm Beach is celebrating summer with a series of family-friendly events and activities this July. The center will bring back regular summer favorites like Nights at the Museum, laser shows, and Sensory Saturdays. The festivities will kick off with a “boom” on Monday, July 4, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., featuring patriotic hands-on crafts, a live fire jug demo, liquid nitrogen explosions, mini golf, and more.

“July at the ScienceCenter offers endless opportunities to meet our mission of opening every mind to science,” said Kate Arrizza, president and CEO for the Science Center.  “There really is something for everyone this month at the Science Center. We hope science fans of all ages will come explore our 55,000-square-foot campus and enjoy our fun line-up of activities indoors and outside!”

While at the Science Center, guests can wander the “Dinosaur Revolution!” exhibit, where junior paleontologists will navigate a giant maze and learn why dinosaurs are one of the most successful survivors in Earth’s history. Dino hunters of all ages can debunk myths and learn about new discoveries, dig for fossils through the time periods, and even make tracks by slipping on life-size dinosaur feet.

All activities are included in regular Science Center admission and free for member; $17.95 for adults; $13.95 for children ages 3 to 12 years; $15.95 for seniors; and free for children younger than 3 years.
