The Bell Museum, a natural history museum and planetarium, located at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities campus in Saint Paul is providing an opportunity to explore the universe.

The picture above captures so much amazement in this child’s eyes! Come learn more about space and leave feeling this level of amazement!

With a crash and a bang (a big one), The Bell Museum is gearing up for the seventh annual Space Fest: Cosmic Chaos. Get ready for crashes, collisions, explosions, astronomical anomalies, and all the things we have yet to understand about our universe. They’ll have hands-on activities, guest speakers, and demonstrations throughout the weekend.

Activities take place Friday through Sunday. Look through the activity line-up and figure what works best!
