Explore the world with DIY hands-on activities, engaging science videos, and science experiments for kids at home!

Spooky Science is coming to Discovery Place Kids-Rockingham! Grab your lab coat (or costume) and join us for a morning of frightfully fun food science. This Halloween-themed program (designed for children ages 8–12) proves that cooking is science. Guests will rotate through spooky food-science stations – think edible worms, Jack Skellington cookie pops, edible petri dishes, pumpkin hand pies and ghostly pumpkin bites – and see firsthand how heat, cold, mixing and molding changes ingredients into something new. It’s the same kind of transformation scientists study in real laboratories, just tastier!

Come dressed in Halloween costumes, get your Trick-or-Treat candy, and prepare to be scared! Space is limited; purchasing tickets in advance is highly recommended.
