“Summertime at NYSCI”, a new family-focused series at The New York Hall of Science (NYSCI), will include engaging activities that celebrate the fun of scientific imagination at the museum.

Starting Saturday, July 22 until the end of August, the new program will specifically include the grand reopening of NYSCI’s Great Hall Terrace, including renovated outdoor café style seating and benches, snacks, entertainment, and engaging physical and educational activities that encourage collaborative play.

Families are also invited to enter the indoor "chill zone" inside, a new set by blacklight games and large scale projection - with, of course, air conditioning!
