Please join us for the Homeschool Family Programs held at the Museum of Natural History and Planetarium in Roger Williams Park for local homeschool families. Each session will consist of an exciting planetarium show or an engaging, hands-on family workshop based on the month’s theme and a special quest to enhance your museum experience. These are family programs and not drop off classes.
The Homeschool Family Program is designed for children ages 6 – 12 years old WITH parent/guardian. There are TWO sessions to choose from, 10am –11am OR 1pm – 2pm. These are duplicate sessions, so please choose the ONE that works best for your family. Once a program has begun, late entries will not be permitted. Please note: There are no activity tables in the museum during Homeschool Programs.
