Growing a Scientist is an opportunity for hands-on activities for children ages 2 through 5 and their adult companions.  In these classes toddlers will learn about science by questioning, experiencing, and investigating.

We did this a year or so ago (when they were in their old location). I found the classes very well prepared, though it was pricey. If you don't have a membership, I think the class includes admission to Explora, so that might help make it worth the $.

Since it is $20 extra for non-members, it would be worth getting a membership if you are going to participate in this program.  The membership is not much more and will easily pay for itself after only a few visits depending on the size of your family.  We have the extended family membership.  My husband and I can take the kids and 2 grandparents...or great-grandparents.  We have not used it as much as I'd like, but it has already paid for itself.  Rumor has it that the price for membership will be going up soon.  Since they opened the new facility they had a major increase in membership and people are using their passes more than expected.  I guess they are concerned with the money they are losing through the memberships vs. people paying per visit.  So, you may want to act quickly if you plan on getting a membership.
