| Message from Mike Norman, CEO |
|
I’m excited to announce Kentucky Science Center will be opening seven days a week to members and the general public starting this upcoming Monday, August 3.
Our weekend openings in July allowed us to put into practice our safe and healthy at work protocols helping to provide the safety and well-being of families who visit, and our team of dedicated Science Center professionals. |
|
| As students start their school year balancing in-person and non-traditional instruction formats, feel comforted in knowing Kentucky Science Center is here to support parents, teachers, and school systems across the region. Recognizing the need to fulfill instructional gaps, our education team is working diligently to develop fun and educational curriculum-based activities available virtually and in-person where appropriate. Continue following our social media to learn more about the education programs and School's Out Science Camps we will offer throughout the month of August. |
I also encourage you to share this wonderful opportunity offered by our partners at the Louisville Free Public Library, Metro United Way, and Norton Healthcare. This team is hosting a Drive-Thru Kindergarten Kickoff! All rising kindergarteners and their families are invited to attend at the South Central Regional Library for a drive-thru celebration on Thursday, August 6, from 5 – 7 p.m.
Please share these opportunities with your family and friends. Together, we will all get through this and support the many children and families in our community.

While in the building, please stay with your travel group and maintain social distancing guidelines of 6 feet spacing from other groups. If you are unable to wear a mask due to medical reasons, please maintain social distancing of 6 feet from all guests.
Before your visit, please read our full COVID-19 procedures and pre-screening questions.
Parking: The KSC Parking Lot is open to the public. Due to MSD construction, a temporary entrance is in place on Washington Street between 7th and 8th Street.

We look forward to seeing you soon and Doing Science together!

Weekly Camps are available through August 7. Pay-by-day camps will begin on August 10, concluding on August 24.
Don't forget: Science Center members SAVE $30 on each week of camp. Become a member today. |

| Turtle Odyssey |
|
| Sea turtles are some of Earth's most ancient and majestic creatures.
For over 100 million years, they have traversed the seas, enduring mass extinctions and playing critical roles in maintaining food webs. But now they face a new threat – humans. It's time we learned more about these remarkable reptiles.
Watch the trailer here. | |
