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.

You've probably imagined your wedding day more times than you can count and we'd love for you to picture it here, at miSci!

Let's go on this journey together. Imagine the sun setting behind the Schenectady skyline as you say your vows on our patio, the hills rolling out behind you, your favorite people gathered close. Then the night opens up, and you're celebrating surrounded by a museum built to spark wonder in everyone who walks through it.

If you want something the two of you will never forget, ask us about a planetarium wedding. Walk down the aisle beneath a sky built just for you, stars placed exactly where you want them, on a night that's entirely your own.

We host ceremonies, receptions, rehearsal dinners, and bridal showers for up to 300 guests, with no minimum headcount required. However you picture your day, we'd love to help you build it. Reach out and let's talk.

Little ones, get ready for story time like you've

Little ones, get ready for story time like you've never seen it. Kerry Tales returns this Saturday, October 3, from 10 to 10:45 AM, right inside our planetarium.

It's story time under the stars, just $5 per child, and it happens the first Saturday of every month. If you've never brought your little one to story time under the dome, today's a great day to start. See you this Saturday!
