Guide to Learning (outside of school) for Mr Hoyt's 3rd grade class.

The Center of Science and Industry membership is a MUST HAVE.

Ideal for elementary students. There are some things for older kids and a Kidsspace for little ones.

Memberships are less than paying for daily admission three times. So anything past three visits is essentially FREE.

Don't pay to park in the lot. There are plenty of 12 hour meters one block west of the lot. Look around there are even some meterless spots under the bridge!

Bring your lunch in - you can buy food there but save money when you can!
