We're as ecstatic as you are that the Great Lakes Water Table is back online starting August 2nd! Thank you for your patience these past two months as our exhibit specialists enhanced the floor and created better drainage for an even more delightful (and less slippery) interactive experience! You'll also notice a new glacier.
Sloan Museum of Discovery is open Tuesdays-Saturdays 10 a.m.-5 p.m., and Sundays Noon-5 p.m. General Admission is free for Genesee County residents (thanks to the Arts Education & Cultural Enrichment Millage).
See you soon! And happy discovering! |
