3-2-1 Liftoff! The Space Adventure of Elon the Hamster
An animated adventure at the Herrett Center for Arts & Science follows Elon, a hamster scientist who lives in a junkyard and struggles to be accepted by the local rat community as his often unsuccessful experiments draw little respect. A sudden crash leaves a crater in his garden and reveals a damaged robot. After repairing it, Elon learns the robot fell from a spaceship preparing a mission to colonize Mars. With only three days until liftoff, he sets out to reunite the robot with its companions, a journey that celebrates courage and quick thinking on the way to space and back. Admission is $7.50 for adults ages 18 to 59, $6.50 for seniors 60 and older, and $5.50 for children 2 to 17 and CSI students with an activity card. Children under age 2 are free.
Herrett Center for Arts & ScienceAncient Caves
At the Herrett Center for Arts & Science, Ancient Caves follows paleoclimatologist Dr. Gina Moseley and a team of cave explorers as they seek clues to Earth's climate history in some of the most remote underground landscapes on the planet. They travel to cave systems in France, Iceland, the Bahamas, the United States, and Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, collecting stalagmite samples that serve as natural records of past conditions, both on land and beneath the sea. The journey highlights how rapidly climate can change and how those shifts have shaped human civilization, while revealing the dedication required to reach places that few people ever visit. Presented by MacGillivray Freeman Films and Oceanic Research Group Films, with support from the Giant Dome Theater Consortium. Admission is $7.50 for adults ages 18 to 59, $6.50 for seniors 60 and older, $5.50 for children ages 2 to 17 and for CSI students with an activity card, and free for children under age 2.
