CHILDREN’S SCIENCE CENTER LAB
Fairfax, VA, March 1, 2023 – The Children’s Science Center Lab will be offering the National Cherry Blossom Festival Celebration thanks to the generous support of Visit Fairfax and their annual partnership with the National Cherry Blossom Festival. Guests will be encouraged to look at the cherry blossoms through the lens of science with hands-on activities. They will observe capillaries in action at the Experiment Bar, create flower origami in the Tinker Shop, and learn the science and history of cherry blossoms while embarking on a scavenger throughout the entire Lab.
The National Cherry Blossom Festival Celebration at the Lab is located inside Fair Oaks Mall and will take place March 25 through April 16, during weekend timed-entry sessions available at 10:00 – 12:00 p.m. and 2 – 4 p.m. To learn more and purchase tickets online, visit childsci.org and save $2 per ticket.
