Step out of the cold and into a world of sparkling discovery this winter.

Children will mix, create, and grow their very own shimmering crystals to take home the following day.
This engaging workshop blends creativity with science, perfect for budding scientists, craft lovers, or anyone looking for a magical winter activity. Kids will experiment with winter-inspired colors and watch their crystal creations come to life right before their eyes.
