One of my favorite things about Sci-Quest is their ability to take the holidays and bring science into them. And this holiday season is no exception! They’ve got all kinds of great events planned for children starting as young as age three. And we at Our Valley Events like Sci-Quest so much that we’re giving away a family four pack of tickets to the Santa’s Science Workshop on December 22nd! Enter at the end of the post.
