Join us on Tuesdays for special family play dates with museum educators!

We are excited to welcome our friends from the National Air and Space Museum to help us explore our newest exhibit, Lights Out! Together, families will learn about how life on our planet is impacted by light pollution, think about ways people can help to cut light pollution, and hopefully be inspired to look up into the night sky! Come and join us for a fun time learning through play and exploration!

The event is part of our drop-in program, Play Date at NMNH. Play Date at NMNH is a program designed for early learners (ages 0-5) and their caregivers and families. Activities are designed with early learners in mind, but all ages are welcome.

Location: This program is held in Q?rius, The Coralyn W. Whitney Science Education Center, on the Ground Floor of the museum. Please enter through the Constitution Avenue entrance. Q?rius is located on the right as you enter the museum.
