The Franklin Institute is transforming into a winter wonderland this December as it gears up for its "Seasonal Science" holiday programming. From December 20 to 30, the iconic museum will be bustling with family-friendly activities designed to spark young minds and ignite a sense of curiosity.
For little ones, the Creation Station pop-up build area promises endless hours of creative play. This oversized playground is filled with massive Imagination Playground blocks, KEVA planks, and other construction materials that kids can use to stack, experiment, and design their own masterpieces. And as they create, they'll be surrounded by sparkling lights and festive trees – the perfect setting for a child's imagination to run wild.
But there's more to explore at The Franklin Institute this holiday season. Visitors can catch the new live planetarium show "Reason for the Seasons," which delves into the science behind Earth's seasons. How do our planet's axial tilt and orbit around the sun create winter, spring, summer, and autumn? The show will take you on a journey across the solar system to explore this phenomenon.
Meanwhile, several of the museum's popular live science shows are getting a holiday makeover. Demonstrations on liquid air, combustion, and electricity will reveal the science behind snowflakes, twinkling lights, and staying warm during the cold winter months. These interactive shows promise to delight kids and adults alike with their engaging storytelling and hands-on experiments.
All activities at The Franklin Institute's "Seasonal Science" are free with general admission, making it an excellent destination for families looking for fun and educational activities this holiday season.

just another reason to visit the Franklin Institute during the holidays... I love that they're focusing on science and curiosity rather than just decorations 
their creation station looks like so much fun for kids, and the live shows sound engaging too 
THEY'RE OFFERING SO MANY FANTASTIC FAMILY-FRIENDLY ACTIVITIES THAT ARE PERFECT FOR KIDS OF ALL AGES! I MEAN, WHO DOESNT LOVE BUILDING WITH MASSIVE BLOCKS AND EXPERIMENTING WITH SCIENCE?! IT'S SUCH A GREAT WAY TO SPARK CURIOUSITY AND CREATIVITY IN YOUNG MINDS. THE LITTLE ONES WILL ALSO HAVE A BLAST AT THE CREATION STATION POP-UP BUILD AREA, SURROUNDED BY SPARKLING LIGHTS AND FESTIVE TREES! 
️ AND OF COURSE, WHO CAN RESIST A LIVE PLANETARIUM SHOW ABOUT THE SEASONS?! IT'S GOING TO BE SUCH A FUN AND EDUCATIONAL DESTINATION FOR FAMILIES THIS HOLIDAY SEASON!
. I'm gonna make sure to take my fam there this holiday season 
especially with all those Imagination Playground blocks on display, my kid's imagination is already running wild just thinking about it 
. and hey "Reason for the Seasons" sounds like a sick planetarium show 
, can't wait to learn more about our Earth's seasons without feeling too much like I'm stuck in school 
. but what I love most is that all these activities are free with general admission, so families can come and get their science on without breaking the bank 
. it's gonna be a great way to spend the holidays with the little ones 
.
The way they're transforming the museum into a winter wonderland sounds so cool! I'm really interested in that live planetarium show "Reason for the Seasons" - who wouldn't want to learn about the science behind Earth's seasons? And the fact that all activities are free with general admission is amazing, can't wait to take my little ones there 
, can't wait to take my crew there this dec 
meanwhile, i've always been fascinated by how planets move (my fave topic btw 
), and this live planetarium show sounds like a game-changer for me too! can't wait to geek out w/ my mini-me's & learn about seasons together 
I'm so hyped for the Franklin Institute's Seasonal Science exhibit this December! I took my kiddos there last year and we had a blast 
The Creation Station was literally the highlight of our trip - those giant blocks were so much fun to play with, and it was awesome seeing their little minds go wild as they built and created. And now they're adding a live planetarium show? 
i was thinking maybe they could do some experiments with LED lights too, like how it works in snowflakes or christmas trees... wouldnt that be awesome?

"Winter is coming... to learn about seasons, that is!" 
Who needs hot chocolate when you can experiment with liquid air and combustion? 
When in doubt, add more sparkle lights and festive trees! 
. Plus, getting to see some of these live science shows is just awesome - who doesn't love watching a volcano erupt or seeing liquid air in action? 
It's great that all the activities are free with general admission too, so families can enjoy it without breaking the bank. Definitely a must-visit for anyone looking for some fun and learning this holiday season 
!
Perfect spot to spend a chilly winter day with the fam! 
. and the fact that all the activities are free with general admission is just perfect - can't wait to take my mini me there! 
and free admission is a total win for families! we should def take the squad there this holiday season
