If there’s a case, we’ll solve it!
We’re diving deep into sleuthing and investigating during Mysteries Weekend at Explore & More on Saturday, May 16 and Sunday, May 17.
Local mystery author Gary Earl Ross will be at the museum on Saturday with a retired Buffalo Police Detective to shed some light on the ins and outs of what makes a good story and how to search for clues.
Activities in our studios include “ear printing” identification, invisible ink messaging, and sampling secret flavors of Food Nerd’s Mega Puffs. Our Story Walk will also be updated with puzzling head scratchers and critical thinking problems to solve on all three exhibit floors.
Museum hours are 10am-4pm on Saturday (members at 9:30am) and 11:30am-4pm on Sunday. Studios will be open 11am-3pm on Saturday and 11:30am-3pm on Sunday.
