San Diego Children’s Discovery Museum Hosts “Nature Night” Event

by | Events

San Diego Children’s Discovery Museum is thrilled to host its third annual Nature Night on Saturday, March 23 from 5:00 to 7:30 p.m.

This after-hours event provides families with the opportunity to participate in hands-on science, technology, reading, engineering, art, and math (STREAM) activities. Through the theme of environmental science, children ages 4-10 are offered early exposure to STREAM education.

Throughout the event, children will engage in over 15 interactive activities to learn about native plants with San Diego Botanic Garden, pollution with Ocean Connectors, composting with Republic Services, and more. Plus, families won’t want to miss out on the immersive butterfly experience with Flutterby Ranch.

“At the Museum, we take pride in crafting genuine hands-on learning experiences that ignite a passion for knowledge. Our STREAM-focused events not only offer families the chance to develop essential skills in STREAM education but also cultivate a deep fascination with subjects ranging from recycling to water conservation! This occasion serves as an excellent opportunity for children to explore environmental science, nurturing their curiosity and imagination. Join us on this journey of discovery and advocacy for a greener, healthier Earth,” said Whitney Raser, Director of Education at San Diego Children’s Discovery Museum.

The Museum’s STREAM programs and events are an introduction to science and engineering for many families, particularly economically disadvantaged families, who may not have access to these hands-on programs at home. Through unique themes, such as Nature Night, the Museum is able to provide hands-on curriculum that sparks an innate curiosity in the world and a future love of learning.

Pre-registration is required for this event. Tickets are $10 for members and $15 for non-members. Special discounts are available for military and veteran families and families with EBT/WIC/SNAP.
