I remember the excitement of being a kid and my parents taking me on an afternoon adventure to the "big city" to explore the science center. Hate to say it but I haven't taken that same trip to Detroit with my own kids even though it was such a memorable moment of my own childhood. Most adults who grew up in southeastern Michigan paid a visit to the science center in Detroit either as a family outing or on a school field trip at some point as a child. If you are a parent like me who has been negligent in sharing that same experience with your own kids this upcoming weekend is a chance to rectify that. Saturday, March 12, 2016 is
FREE ADMISSION Day at the Michigan Science Center courtesy of the Ford Motor Company Fund.
From 10 am - 6pm general admission to the Michigan Science Center located at 5020 John R. Street in Detroit is at no charge to the public. Experience 250+ hands-on exhibits that explore heath, physical science, space, and engineering plus view live stage shows, lab activities and more. Additionally there is a
Planetarium experience,

Toytopia that are available to enjoy for an additional cost. Visit
