Individuals are not required to wear facial coverings when actively engaging in exercise and maintaining social distancing in accordance with CDC guidelines. We continue to encourage everyone to follow CDC Guidelines so that they can best protect themselves, as well as others during this time.*** The Children's Science Explorium, located in Sugar Sand Park, is a free hands-on science center designed for children 5 – 12 years of age and their caregivers. We offer fascinating and interactive exhibits, programs and camps that bring the physical sciences to life.
