All the great things going on at the Cradle this December Holiday Break!
Join us this December Break for some Super Science!

From December 27th to the 30th you will be able to explore beyond what our eyes can see with infrared light and heat mapping, perfect for detecting those with the power of invisibility. You can also explore the force of magnetism that protects the Earth and us, humans, from the Sun’s radiation, which would harm us, not turn us into superheroes!
