The Life Sciences Greenhouse, Wildflower + Pollinator Garden invites you to Bees, Beetles & Blooms — an early evening open house celebrating pollinators, native plants, and our home planet.
Join us as the Planetarium opens its doors and make it a full Earth-to-cosmos experience. Before or after your planetarium adventure, take a walk along Planetarium Way and visit our planet — Earth — in bloom. Explore our Monarch Waystation, discover what’s flowering this season, and learn how native plants support bees, beetles, butterflies, and other essential pollinators.
We will also have hands-on crafting activities where you can create your very own beetle to take home. Center for Civic Engagement is hosting a seed-ball making event — a fun, family-friendly way to connect with science.
Open to the public. Free admission.
Stop by before or after your planetarium show.
