Discovery Space Night
This event has passed.
An evening of hands-on science and stargazing transforms Pinecrest Gardens into a family-friendly space adventure. Discovery Space Night invites children and adults to explore the solar system through interactive learning, immersive experiences and themed activities designed to spark curiosity about astronomy and space exploration.
Throughout the gardens, families can journey from planet to planet, visit science stations and take part in educational missions. Young attendees receive a “space passport” and complete activities at each stop, collecting stamps as they go. The experience blends entertainment with learning, encouraging kids to think like Jr. Scientists while engaging with astronomy concepts in an accessible way.
