This weekend, let the thrill of making propel you into a world of endless inspiration! MakeFest is included with general admission and free to members. Admission also provides access to all four floors of exhibits, movies and experiences at Orlando Science Center. Don’t miss our newest exhibition, Dogs! A Science Tail, presented locally by Orlando Health.
Sniff out the science behind our puppy love with over a dozen different interactive exhibit pieces that explores the science behind where dogs came from, how dogs experience the world, and what makes our bond with them so special. Analyze bones and DNA patterns to see how scientists study dog domestication to learn how wolves evolved into the diverse doggos we know and love today. Visitors will have a ball sniffing out hidden smells, testing out the speed of their own zoomies against different breeds, and getting inside a dog’s head to see and hear how they do. Dog lovers are also invited to share personal photos and stories of their dogs on a photo wall within the exhibit.
