*The event has already taken place on this date: Sat, 01/18/2025
We are SNOW excited for this year’s Snow Day! Join us on Saturday, January 18th, 2025, as we sled into a flurry of fun science activities, including a snow pit with 28 tons of real snow, a mini sled derby, a snowball slingshot, the Fros-TEE Challenge, warm treats, and frosty science demonstrations. Bring your mittens, friends, family, and curiosity for a day full of wintery excitement!

Please help us keep this calendar up to date! If this activity is sold out, canceled, or otherwise needs alteration, email mindy@kidsoutandabout.com so we can update it immediately. If you have a question about the activity itself, please contact the organization administrator listed below.
  • Snow Pit (all day) - Enjoy 28 tons of real snow!

  • DIY Snow (10am & 12pm)

  • Spaghetti Engineering Challenge (11am & 1pm)

  • Liquid Nitrogen (10:30am & 1:30pm) - Watch as we demonstrate the amazing chemical properties of a super icy substance. See molecular properties revealed and states of matter shift as we expose everyday objects to liquid nitrogen at -321 degrees F!

  • Vortex Cannon (12:30, with Frosty Bubbles) - Discover the physics of vapor particles with the Vortex Cannon demonstration! Watch how our cannon creates toroidal vortices and as our educators explain that even the smallest particles and molecules in the air experience the physics of friction.

  • Frosty Bubbles (12:30, with Vortex Cannon) - In this demonstration, guests will learn about sublimation. Using dry ice and a bubble solution, guests will watch as we create smoke filled bubbles released into the air. As the bubbles burst, releasing the sublimated gas into the air, guests will witness science in action.

  • Fros-Tee Challenge (11am, 12pm, & 1pm)

  • Snowball Slingshot - Guests will use a mounted slingshot to launch snowballs to hit hanging hula-hoop targets.

  • Mini Sled Derby - Can you build the fastest derby racer on track AND ice? At this station, guests will be able to design and build a custom mini sled derby to test against others. They will watch as the sled zips down our wooden track that leads to an icy finish.
