Looking for something fun to do over this drizzly weekend? Wrap up and head down to the Pacific Science Center for Polar Science Weekend, now through Sunday, February 28. The Science Center has teamed up with the University of Washington’s Applied Physics Laboratory to bring four days of demonstrations, exhibits and talks for families, kids and citizen scientists interested in learning more about the poles.
The Science Center touts that the weekend’s events are “a rare opportunity to dive head first into the mysterious and somewhat unknown world of polar science featuring interactive exhibits and a chance to talk with some of the nation’s top polar scientists.”
Demonstrations and lectures include, Ice Under Fire; The Sky Tonight with Feature Focus on the Poles; Polar Bears and Beluga Whales of the Arctic with Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium.
The Polar Ice Weekend exhibit at the Pacific Science Center opens at 10 a.m. daily. For more information, check out their website.
