Have you ever wondered what it would be like to stand inside a hot air balloon? Come do just that at the Soar & Explore Fun Day, as we cold-inflate a hot air balloon inside! Learn how hot air balloons work, explore buoyancy, complete a craft, and search for hidden hot air balloons in the Exhibits.
At 1 pm, join us for a unique experience as you watch the Museum’s Animal Care staff dive into the Oceans Tank to feed some of your favorite animals. You’ll witness both broadcast and direct feeding methods used for different species in the Tank.
