Tiny Tots
Tiny Tots meets Tuesdays September through May at 9:30-10:30AM. This toddler program for ages 2 and under encourages a child’s first science exploration. Tots and grown-ups will be encouraged to use song, movement, finger plays as well as art and sensory explorations of different topics in a developmentally appropriate environment. There will be time at the beginning and end of the program for tot and grown up socialization in our KidsPlace exhibit as well.
Tiny Tots is designed for children and participating adults. At least one adult must stay with their Little Learner(s) at all times while in Whitaker Center.
Please note, the rest of the Science Center will not be available for exploration during this time.

Registration
Pre-registration is required, but we know life can change quickly with a tiny tot, so with that in mind, registration will stay open until our program’s start time.
This can be done in advance via the ticketing links below or by contacting the box office at 717-214-ARTS.
Plan Ahead & Secure Your Spot! We’re thrilled to offer engaging programs at the Science Center—and we want to make sure you don’t miss out! To help us prepare and ensure the best experience for everyone, we kindly ask that tickets be purchased in advance. Tickets are not refundable, but can be moved forward to a future Tiny Tots program upon request.
Please note: Programs require a minimum number of participants. If minimum enrollment is not met, we will notify participants two days before the scheduled date that the program is canceled. Early registration helps us keep these opportunities available! Consider adding a ticket for a friend or sibling!
