What’s astronaut gardening, you wonder? Discover how astronauts grow food in space and—in the future—on Mars! Participants will also take home an out-of-this-world Tomatosphere™ experiment.
During this hands-on workshop, astronaut gardeners alike will:
- Learn how future interplanetary farming could be both sustainable and tasty
- Explore how astronauts currently grow food in space with hydroponics systems
- Build and take home a small seed germination systems using rockwool: adding nutrients, adjusting the pH of the water, and sowing two seeds.
- Take home a real-life science experiment to explore how space, and space-like conditions, impacts tomato seed germination.
- Learn how to continue growing your very own SPACE TOMATOES this year!

Last chance to see Artemis Space Adventure with LEGO® Bricks — here until April 6th!
Artemis Space Adventure with LEGO® Bricks, presented by White Spot Restaurants, turns the science of space travel—from Moon missions to future journeys to Mars—into hands-on challenges powered by LEGO® bricks.
This interactive exhibition is inspired by none other than NASA’s groundbreaking Artemis Missions, a series of ambitious programs designed to return humans to the Moon for the first time since 1972. Visitors will take on the roles of Artemis space explorers (engineers, scientists, and astronauts) using LEGO® bricks to imagine, design, and build their way through the challenges of deep space.
At the heart of the exhibition are larger-than-life LEGO® sculptures, hands-on engineering challenges, and collaborative workshop stations designed to ignite creativity.
Presenting the Native Art Renaissance exhibition. This collection showcases work from Indigenous artists and peoples from across Turtle Island. Featuring carvings, paintings, and digital media, each piece tells the artist’s story while engaging viewers to admire, learn, and self-reflect.
Explore Native Art Renaissance will be available to view in Science World’s Lower Atrium along the hallway leading to Center Stage from March 14, 2026 to 2027.
