What can we do when the temperature becomes too hot to handle?

Discover the science of instant phase changes such as sublimation, condensation, and evaporation. Then, create one with us to cool down just as the heat turns up.

Just for Me is a program dedicated to welcoming individuals and families with diverse sensory and accessibility needs to discover and explore everything Frost Science has to offer. This event is a way for you and your family to enjoy the museum in a quiet, comfortable and accepting environment.
During Just for Me hours there will be sound and lighting adjustments within the exhibitions to make them more sensory-friendly. There will also be a special tactile and interactive activation within one exhibit so guests can engage with scientific concepts at their own pace and on their own terms. We encourage families to make connections and share resources during events.
