The Wyoming State Museum wraps up the 2024 Family Day schedule with an out-of-this-world event all about space!
On December 7 from 10 am – 2 pm, families are invited to explore the wonders of space, meet experts, and engage in hands-on activities. Attendees will have the chance to discover hidden planets throughout the galleries, craft an asteroid, join a Moon Walk relay race, and launch straw rockets with the Wyoming NASA Space Grant Consortium.
Other highlights include looking through a sun telescope from the UW Planetarium, learning about gravity with the Museum’s Curator of Education, and seeing a real NASA flight suit that was recently donated to the museum’s permanent collection. Partners from the Science Initiative Roadshow, Cheyenne Animal Shelter, and UW College of Engineering will offer fun and educational activities well.
This free, all-ages event is part of the Museum’s Family Day series, sponsored by Scheels in Johnstown, Colorado. While the event is free, families are asked to register in advance to ensure enough supplies are available. Register online at bit.ly/WSMfamilydays or by calling 307-630-2573.
