This holiday season, deck the halls with science! The Science Mill will be open with expanded dates from December 17 to December 31 (closed Dec. 24 + 25 and Jan. 1). Explore 50+ interactive exhibits, inside and outdoors, including the new Remarkable Reflectors whip, newly updated Banana Piano and the return of MindBall—an exhibit powered by YOUR brainwaves! From Dec. 26-31, find special pop-up experiences like the Sleigh Racer Challenge and a foot-controlled video game.

Don’t forget to stop and shop our Science Store for holiday gifts with a science twist—or shop online and we’ll ship anywhere in the U.S. All proceeds support the museum’s STEM programs for Texas youth.

After the Mill closes, enjoy a self-guided driving tour of Johnson City’s Lights Spectacular displays featuring 2 million twinkling holiday lights (Nov. 27 through January 3; 6pm-midnight).
