Arizona Science Center to turn Heritage and Science Park into a Winter Wonderland

WHAT: Mark your calendars! Arizona Science Center’s Snow Week, a Phoenix tradition, is the best place to play in the snow. For seven days, more than 100 tons of snow blanket the Heritage & Science Park. Make snow angels, build a snowman and sled at the longest running snow day event in the Valley.  The fun and exploration continue as you dance through the falling snow when entering the Center. From Star Wars to Superheroes to Fairy Tales, the Center will have themed days PLUS a Snow Week favorite tradition found nowhere else in the Valley –’Snowing Ping Pong Ball’ Explosions!

Celebrate New Year’s Eve with a magical day as we return to Hogwarts for a Yule Ball.  Dress in your finest House robe or as a muggle, and get ready for fun Harry Potter themed crafts, activities and demonstrations.

And don’t miss Cosmic Playground before it ends January 13, 2019! Climb, slide and explore the galaxy in this one-of-a-kind space-inspired experience. Buy your tickets now for the BEST SEVEN DAYS of snow and science fun. Generously supported by Subaru and Arizona Coyotes.
