Children's Science Center (The), Cape Coral

Kids (and adults) can enjoy hands-on learning at The Children's Science Center, in Cape Coral. Indoor and outdoor exhibits are educational as well as fun, and include electricity, fossils, optical illusions, live reptiles, mazes, a butterfly garden, and a nature trail. Astronomy nights, where kids can gaze through giant telescopes, run from January-April. For astronomy nights, wear long sleeves, pants, socks, close-toed shoes and a jacket, and bring mosquito repellant. The Science Center also has a gift shop and picnicking.
