The family day program would be from 10:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m. and include an opportunity to talk with our expert Curatorial staff (Dr. David DeVorkin from our Space History Dept. has already confirmed his participation), hands-on activities and story time for our younger visitors with their adult companions.
