Science Museum Oklahoma is debuting a new, hands-on holiday experience, Winter WonderLab, Dec. 21 through 23, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Tickets are available now at smo.org/winterwonderlab.

At Winter WonderLab, guests can participate in holiday experiments and activities, including creating holiday-themed treats and gifts they can take home.

“The interactive experiments and activities in our new Winter WonderLab give families something out-of-the-ordinary to do indoors during the holidays, sparking curiosity and mixing science with festive fun,” said Sherry Marshall, Science Museum Oklahoma President and CEO.

Winter WonderLab activities include:

Gravy Boat Regatta—a wind-powered race through the South’s favorite non-Newtonian fluid gravy
Chimney Santa Drop—a holiday take on the classic egg drop contest, complete with chimney
Indoor Snowball Fight—a snowball fight with safe, poof ball “snow” instead of the frozen water variety
Cardboard Gingerbread Village—combines creativity, recycling and engineering to create a gingerbread village entirely from cardboard
Peppermint Cotton Candy—crush up candy canes, feed them into a cotton candy machine, and out comes peppermint-flavored cotton candy
Gum Drop Constellations—uses gumdrops to represent stars in the sky; combine them to make constellations
Kinetic Art Holiday Cards—created with a mixture of paint and marbles in a container; a bit of vigorous shaking creates an original piece of holiday card art
Holiday Photo Frames for the photo booth—an arts and crafts project where kids create a handmade frame for their holiday photo – perfect for the refrigerator!
Marbling Prints—use water marbling techniques to transfer patterns floating on the surface of water to paper

Guests who participate in all activities receive a Holiday Angles STEM-based ornament construction kit.

Tickets for Winter WonderLab are $12 for members and $15 for non-members. There is no additional cost for the Love’s Planetarium. All activities take place within the east entrance of the building.
