Sci-Port Pre-Fireworks Fun

Here is a fun event for you and the kids, especially if you have one of those deep thinkers in the family. How do you make fireworks different colors? How do fireworks explode into interested shapes? All those fun questions will be answered this weekend at Sci-Port with demonstrations of how fireworks actually work and the chemistry behind fireworks. The kids will even get to make their own sparkler and launch a rocket!

Here is the schedule for the long weekend of fun planned at Sci-Port: Louisiana's Science Center. Check out the bald eagle they will have on site Saturday!

Saturday 7/2 through Monday 7/4 check out Fireworks Fun at 1 pm daily.

Live Bald Eagle! Saturday from 1 – 3 p.m., a live, female bald eagle from Walter B. Jacobs Memorial Nature Park will be on display at Sci-Port.

Monday 6 – 8:30 p.m. Sci-Port will host the Pre-Fireworks Cool-Off.
