📅 Every Saturday in July (except July 4) | 10:30 am – 1:30 pm Located in the Great Lakes Community Education Center | Included with museum admission, free for members and Museums for All. Dive into discovery with our Capt. Scupper’s Kids Club: Community Scientists, supported by the Darrell & Jean Fox Fund. Throughout July, curious young minds and their families are invited to explore the world of science by investigating a question that impacts us all: How healthy is this water? Using hands-on experiments and real-world samples, participants will step into the role of scientists—testing, observing, and uncovering what lies beneath the surface. What to Expect Hands-On Experiments: Learn the scientific method of testing water—from forming a hypothesis to analyzing results. Water Testing in Action: Compare tap water, river water, and bottled water using simple tools and guided techniques. Think Like a Scientist: Ask questions, make predictions, and draw conclusions as you explore how scientists study and protect our Great Lakes. Additional Details Ideal Ages: 13 and under, but all families are welcome. Cost: Free with museum admission, free for members and Museums for All (families receiving food assistance; thanks to our presenting sponsors UToledo Health and Toledo Refining Company). Registration required. Registration coming soon!
We tell the awe-inspiring stories of the Great Lakes. 500 breathtaking photographs, 250 artifacts, 45 interactive exhibits, and a 617-foot freighter.
