Junior Curators, designed for children 6 and older with an adult, will be held at the museum from 2-4 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 17. Drop in for activities and a themed scavenger hunt.

From 12-4 p.m. on Sept. 24, visitors at Family Day: Water can meet museum researchers, learn about fish genetics, test water quality, try a scavenger hunt, add to a collaborative art wall and more.
