Fall Into Science

September 22 - November 5, 2023

How do some plants create new life after death? What’s the spooky science behind the Pepper’s Ghost visual effect? Which animal bones are the closest to our own? This month, Fall into Science and find out!

Look for autumn-themed exhibits like the Bone Zone, ghostly illusions, regenerating zombie plants, seasonal spins on our Wind Tube and MicroEye, and more. Throughout the science center and zoo, you'll find pumpkin photo ops for your #fallintoscience selfies, and our always-popular hay bale adventure area offers space to clamber and climb in the Bay View Grove.

Fall into Science is included with admission to CuriOdyssey.
