Our mission today allows us to serve over 70,000 guests each year at the Lab and through our community programs delivered to schools, libraries and STEM festivals across Northern Virginia. The Children's Science Center Lab is an interactive museum where children, families, and school groups can explore science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) concepts through fun, engaging hands-on exhibits, activities, and programs.

The Lab is open every Weekend to guests at a reduced capacity through two hour, timed-entry sessions.

10:00 am - 12:00 pm

2:00 pm - 4:00 pm

We strongly encourage you purchase your tickets in advance. Save $2 per ticket when you purchase online! Children under the age of 17 must be accompanied by a paid adult at all times while visiting the Lab. Tickets will be available on the Wednesday two weeks before that weekend.
