Junior Science Clubs let kids experience challenging hands-on activities and interact with local scientists. Our aim is to spark their curiosity and inspire their love of science!  Our sessions are filled with fascinating experiments and explorations that cover a variety of fields, including biology, chemistry, engineering, environmental science, physics, robotics and much more. The activities are specifically designed for kids aged 6–10, so your little ones can have a blast while learning something new.  

We offer two sessions every month, from 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. or 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., so you can pick the one that works best for your family's schedule. By joining the Junior Science Club, you will become part of our community of science enthusiasts and discover a world of possibility. 

For more information, contact the Education Reservations Team or call (619) 238-1233 x806.

If you wish to make a booking for more than four participants, please contact our Youth Programs Manager. To ensure the accessibility of our programming, we are unable to accommodate large groups in a single event.
