Excelsior Science Workshop

A truly great resource. I brought a carful of kids of all ages and genders and everyone had a great time. They have lots of different sections with literally hundred of science projects for kids to choose from. Everything from tinkering to live animals and microscopes, light experiments, pulleys, rockets and a ton more.
They have free Monday drop in days. Definitely worth checking it out!

We have frequented the Mission Science Workshop over the years and this is the new expansion in the Excelsior. It’s open every third Saturday from 10am to 3pm during the school year. This new location has a lot of great new tools and supplies for arts & crafts projects.
It’s an informal drop-​in location that allows kids to discover, explore, and be hands-​on with science experiments, small animals, or crafts/​woodworking. The knowledgeable staff usually provides a couple of self starter, pre-​configured fun projects at every session.
Some past project examples have included sewing projects, building 9-​volt battery based electrical circuits with switches, motors, & lights, dissecting a pig’s heart, woodworking projects, and making mosaic designs with glass & mirrors. This is where I take my kid to make a safe, fun, and educational mess!
