Tiny Tots meets Tuesdays September through May at 9:30-10:30AM. This toddler program for ages 2 and under encourages children’s first science exploration. Tots and grown-ups are encouraged to use song, movement, art and sensory explorations of different topics in a developmentally appropriate environment. We’ll also have 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 Tiny Tot(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.

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!

Tickets are not refundable, but can be moved forward to a future Tiny Tots program upon request.

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!
