Sid the Science Kid: The Super-Duper Exhibit!

Opens May 25, 2019

San Jose, CA - May 14, 2019 - Beginning May 25, kids can join Sid the Science Kid on an amazing, scientific adventure when Sid the Science Kid: The Super-Duper Exhibit! opens at Children's Discovery Museum of San Jose! This exciting, new traveling exhibit brings the award-winning PBS KIDS TV series Sid the Science Kid to life. For the first time ever, kids will be able to step into Sid's world and become "science kids" themselves as they discover and investigate everyday science questions around Sid's home, at school in the Super Fab Lab, and on the playground. Through fun, hands-on activities, kids will use scientific tools and thinking to learn about simple machines, the laws of motion, magnetism, air power and the five senses. It's sure to be a super-duper-ooper-schmooper good time!

Created by The Magic House, St. Louis Children's Museum in collaboration with The Jim Henson Company, the exhibit is generously made possible by The Boeing Company, the Employees Community Fund of Boeing St. Louis, Sally and Bill Canfield, the Crawford Taylor Foundation, Judy and Jerry Kent, Monsanto Company and Sigma-Aldrich.
