Bring the whole family for a night of experiments, demonstrations and hands-on fun!  Eat a bug! (or just watch the highly entertaining Icky, Yucky, Gross Bug Show), make a bouncy ball to learn about polymers, build an earthquake proof tower out of recycled materials, experience virtual reality with UCode, experiment with candy, shake hand with a starfish, play with dry ice, watch Mad Bob in his new show "Spin, Pop, Boom!" and so much more!  Cub Scouts will be selling pizza and drinks and raffling off SpaceX tours and gear and Jamba Juice will be there with smoothies.  The lower playground will be open for parking but off limits to unsupervised children.  

Meadows Mom's Night Out is on the calendar and it's going to be a BLAST!  But hurry and buy your tickets - prices go up after April 30th!!
