CRYSTAL MOMS

to Oct. 7 and will be housed within the center’s Great Room. Entry is included with general admission.

Dates and Details

Since “everyone is considered a kid at Raven Hill,” admission is $10 per person for everyone except for babies under one, who get in free. The price of admission includes both the indoor and outdoor exhibits, though you can also pay just $5 and enjoy the outdoor space. Leach says the average visit lasts approximately two or three hours, so plan for a full day of fun.

Raven Hill Discovery Center is open to the public year-round on weekends—124pm on Saturdays and 2-4pm on Sundays— with hours expanding between Memorial

Day and Labor Day. (They’re almost always open by appointment, too.) Be sure to keep an eye out for complimentary-entry days for local families and residents, including open houses and FREE (Families Reaching for Educational Excellence) Second Saturdays. “Spring is a great time to come and visit Raven Hill,” says Leach. “Come rediscover the Taxi Trail, and, if you haven’t seen it, interact with the science, history, and art on the adjacent Connections Trail. Explore all the inside exhibits and be sure and say hello to Sheldon and Checkers in the Animal Room!”
