Smitten with Science

From 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. today and from noon to 4 p.m. tomorrow, Great Lakes Science Center hosts Smitten with Science, a special family friendly events program that enables guests to make their own stethoscope and listen to their family members' heartbeats using paper cones, duct tape and cardstock. You can also design and build your own cupid crossbow and then test its accuracy in the Cupid Archery Range. Special activities for today include a drop-in early childhood workshop for pre-k kids and their parents from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in the birthday party room, and a special visit from the Cleveland APL in the Science Center auditorium with adoptable dogs and cats looking for homes (adoption fee and application process apply). Regular admission prices apply. (Niesel)
