Things to Do

Spectacular Spring Break Fun at the Don Harrington Discovery Center

Taking a giant leap into the 21st century, on Wednesday, March 13, 2019, the DHDC will be hosting a day focused on survival techniques. Visitors can learn how to always be prepared through valuable survival tips from the Cub Scouts. They can also learn to make their own water filter and build their own survival structure from blocks, PVC sticks, blankets, and other materials at the Fort Building Station! In addition, your child can commemorate the day by making their own survival paracord keychain as a take-home souvenir.

Whenever family activities are planned, there’s most definitely food involved. You can’t have one without the other, and this interactive science center knows how to do it up right! Instead of the instance where you hide the daily vitamin in the dessert, they’ve hidden some useful information in Pi. You read that right! Thursday’s activities for the DHDC Spring Break Spectacular fall under the category of “Pi Day.” Participants in this day’s festivities will learn how Pi(e) can save their life by testing shapes to see which is the strongest. Starting at 1:59 p.m., the center will be handing out free pie, while supplies last. So if you thought science and learning couldn’t be tantalizing, you were absolutely wrong. And if your kids are looking for that added challenge to curb the harsh reality that school will be starting in approximately 3.14 days (see how we did that?), they can enter the pie-eating contest! Also on Thursday, the Don Harrington Discovery Center will be hosting the Coffee Memorial Blood Center on site, because what goes better with pie than coffee? No, not really – the concept of giving blood for others to survive hasn’t been lost on the center. They’re offering visitors the opportunity to “give, so that others can survive” as part of a spring break blood donor drive.
