882 people. That's how many of you walked through our doors on Free Admission Day and we are still smiling about it.

Thank you to our friends at @mandt_bank for making the day possible. Because of their support, hundreds of families, neighbors, and first-time visitors got to explore the museum, look up at the stars, and spend a day being curious together.

And thank you to everyone who grabbed a spot and came out. You filled the galleries with questions and laughter, which is exactly what we hoped for.

Houston, we have a comedy show!

On Friday, October 23, three of the funniest family-friendly comedians are taking over the planetarium for Joking with the Stars, a family friendly night of laughs in our planetarium. It's 45 minutes of jokes the whole family can enjoy together, from the kid who's still learning what a punchline is to the grown-up who has heard every dad joke twice.

Joking with the Stars starts at 6 PM and is $10 per person, recommended for ages 5 and up. Grab your tickets at misci.org and bring the whole crew.

This Sunday, miSci is opening its doors a little differently. Sensory Sunday runs from 9 to 11 AM on October 11, a sensory-friendly time designed for families who need a quieter, more accommodating museum experience.

Lower lights, reduced sound, and a slower pace so every family can explore comfortably. Sensory Sunday happens the second Sunday of every month. We hope to see you there.

Every day at miSci, someone is leading a tour, helping a kid through an activity, or making sure a program runs the way it should. A lot of those individuals are volunteers.

This Saturday, October 10th, join us and see what volunteering here actually looks like, ask questions, and find a role that fits your schedule and your interests.

You don't need a science degree. Former engineers, retired teachers, college students, and curious neighbors have all found a place here. If you like people, questions, and the occasional "wait, how does that work?" moment, you'll fit right in.

Stop by from 11:00 AM - 2:00 PM on Saturday, or tell a friend who's been looking for a way to get involved.

The dinosaurs are back, and this time, they're moving.

Age of the Dinosaurs is an exciting animatronic exhibit, bringing a T-Rex, Apatosaurus, Chasmosaurus, and more to life right in our Changing Gallery. See them up close, learn what made these creatures so extraordinary, and let your imagination run a little wild.

On view now through the end of this school year. Come say hello before they're gone.

Happy World Teachers' Day to every teacher who mak

Happy World Teachers' Day to every teacher who makes science come alive for their students.
Last year, 19,179 students got a miSci educational experience, through 166 field trips and 192 outreach programs. Behind every one of those visits was a teacher who planned the trip, packed the permission slips, and believed their students deserved to see science up close.

To the teachers who answer "but why?" a hundred times a day and who keep curiosity going all year long: thank you. We're proud to learn alongside you.
