Science Museum Oklahoma: CurioCity STEAM Play & Kirkpatrick Planetarium Fall Shows

About this adventure

Science Museum Oklahoma provides an exhilarating holiday weekend escape where curiosity and hands-on discovery take center stage across eight acres of science exploration. Families flock to CurioCity, a 20,000-square-foot whimsical children's village featuring eight distinct neighborhoods packed with physical challenges, musical gear sculptures, theatrical stages, and mechanical water play machines. During Thanksgiving weekend, young scientists can construct aerodynamic wind flyers, launch air rockets, experiment with magnetic tracks, and watch electrifying live chemistry demonstrations on the Science Live stage. Overhead in the state-of-the-art Kirkpatrick Planetarium, family-friendly astronomical shows take visitors on dazzling guided journeys through the late-autumn night sky, highlighting seasonal constellations and planetary alignments in crisp digital immersion.
