Exploration Stations
For family nights, field days, fairs and more!
Love our Programs-on-Wheels but looking for something less structured? Exploration Stations provide hands-on, stop-and-go, informal learning perfect for family nights, field days or other events where people are on the move. Book one or more stations, available in a variety of science and social studies topics, for your next event. You provide the tables and we'll provide materials and activities for people of all ages to explore at their own pace. Please note that single stations can accommodate a maximum of 25 participants at any given time; please book multiple stations or host additional activities to accommodate larger audiences.
All programs align with Ohio and Kentucky Science, Social Studies, and Early Childhood Academic Standards. See our Educator’s Guide for specific program alignment.
