Yearly Signature Events & Scheduled Closed Dates

Science City’s Signature Events Feature STEM Activities for the Whole Family!

Our yearly signature events include Spring Fling, kidFEST, SpookFest, and Noon Year’s Eve. These four events are traditionally a day-long celebration filled to the max with themed STEM activities & demonstrations, educator-led workshops, and epic science family-fun. Everyone is welcome to purchase a ticket and experience a Science City signature event. Union Station Members receive free or discounted pricing to attend.

Spring Fling celebrates the change of the season, and new life on Earth.
kidFEST is focused on early childhood education, and our youngest of learners.
SpookFest is about all things creepy and spooky.
Noon Year’s Eve is the perfect way to ring in the new year, complete with a fan-favorite balloon drop.

Along with our yearly signature events, Science City features monthly themes and daily STEM activities.

Please check out the calendar to see what’s happening today in Science City! And be sure to check back next month, as the theme and activities are always changing!
