  • Long Island Science Center 401 Tanger Mall Drive Riverhead, NY, 11901 United States (map)

September 22nd is National Astronomy Day! National Astronomy is actually celebrated twice a year – once in spring and once in fall. The springtime celebration falls on the Saturday closest to the first quarter moon and the fall time celebration of this holiday falls on the Saturday closest to the quarter moon. Come celebrate this biannual holiday with us by exploring our solar system. Students will learn about the planets in our solar system and work together to build a scale model!

Science Saturday Workshop prices ($20 per student) include the workshop and museum admission for the participating student. All children must be accompanied by an adult. Adults must purchase admission upon entry ($15 per person). This is not a drop-off program, an adult must be present at all times. Science Saturday's are free for members.
