The National Children’s Museum at the Washington Harbor is hosting the following terrific events every weekend through the month of December:

Saturday Events:
‘Tis the Season – 11 am – 4 pm – Celebrate the coming of winter and the many special holidays during this time of year. Join us every Saturday to participate in a variety of holiday arts and crafts, which will include assorted decoration and card making. Activities will vary each week and some may be repeated.

Cryogenics Science Show – 1:15 pm & again at 3:15 pm (for 30 minutes)- Can’t get enough ICE!? Come to the COOLEST show on earth! Explore really cold temperatures in a 30-minute demonstration that’s thrilling, surprising, and proves that science is really cool! Learn about the properties of dry ice and liquid nitrogen, and watch as these super-cold substances transform everyday objects in ways you couldn’t imagine. See a color changing rainbow of dry ice, boiling liquid nitrogen, and watch as we hammer a nail with a banana? 

This program is sure to enhance your experience at Gaylord National’s ICE! attraction – a winter wonderland created entirely from two million pounds of ice – presented from November 19, 2009 through January 10, 2010.

This free event will take place in the Gaylord National Resort Atrium, 201 Waterfront St., National Harbor, MD, 20745.
