Join the Club

The world is an amazing place, and the Family Explorers Club invites our littlest explorers (and their grown-ups) to learn all about it with their families! This FREE program for families of children ages 3-5 encourages young scientists and their family lab assistants to explore and discover the world around them through Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math (STEAM) programming designed to spark curiosity and ignite imaginations.

All workshops take place in the Little KIDSPACE Mini Explorers Clubhouse.
