Calling young artists and inventors! Immerse yourself in the mind of Leonardo da Vinci– building, sketching, testing, and designing, just like the “Renaissance Man” himself. Hands-on activity tables explore his contributions to art, science, anatomy and engineering. Will you recreate da Vinci’s work, or add an exciting twist that’s all your own?

Included with membership or general admission.

Leonardo’s Lab, a traveling exhibit, was developed by Carnegie Science Center (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) and produced in partnership with the Sciencecenter (Ithaca, New York).

Walk-Ons Give Back Night for Ronald McDonald’s House

Hi DJ!

I wanted to let you know about an opportunity coming up for all of our friends to come out and support their local Ronald McDonald House!

We are so excited to partner with our friends at Walk-On’s Sports Bistreaux for the Ronald McDonald Give Back Night! When you grab a delicious dinner out at Walk-On’s on Tuesday November 18th and mention or show this graphic to your server and mention Ronald McDonald’s House, 10% of your order will go back to serve the families here at our House this holiday season!

A little goes a long way when we all team up together for families of sick or injured children, so make sure to pass this on to your family, friends, and co-workers so we can get as many of our neighbors out to help Walk-On’s help our families!

With all the holiday meals to be made in the coming weeks, this is a perfect way to enjoy a night off from cooking while also investing in our mission! We’ll hope to see ya there.

Gratefully,
