Tellus Science Musuem

Since opening its doors to the public on January 12, 2009, Tellus has become a spectacular destination for family-oriented science adventures.  This Spring, Tellus has a great line-up of events for all to enjoy.  Here are 4 great events worthy of making a trip to Tellus this spring.

Earth Day Exploration Celebration

Bring the family to enjoy a great day “planting seeds of change”.   Among many great Lorax themed activities, children can make a trufulla tree pencil, a Lorax mustache, and watch The Lorax in the Tellus Theater for no additional charge.  Attendees will receive their own package of wildflower seeds while supplies last.
