The Case of the Terrible Toy
Thief Saturday, December 12
Not a single toy can be found
at the North Pole! Who could have taken them? Santa Sleuths
to the rescue! Investigate a crime scene and use forensic
science and modern-day police techniques to find the
missing toys. Practice forensic photography when you
photograph the crime scene. Look for clues, dust for
fingerprints, identify tire tracks, and decode messages
to solve the mystery of the terrible toy thief. Take
a spin on the ice when you go ice skating on the Center’s
outdoor ice skating rink.

The Case of the Disappearance
of Jack Frost Saturday, December 19
Even Jack Frost needs a vacation!
Unfortunately, he has extended his vacation in the Bahamas
and without him it’s unlikely we’ll see snow
anytime soon. Team up with your fellow Santa Sleuths
to create some sensational snow creations. Explore the
science behind snowflakes and get frosty with liquid
nitrogen. Mix-up a batch of home-made snow-cream, make
snow and create a beautiful snow globe. Take a spin on
the ice when you go ice skating on the Center’s
outdoor ice skating rink.

The
Case of the Mysterious Ice Castles and Snow Forts Monday - Wednesday, December 28-30
Every year Santa holds a
winter wonderland competition to celebrate another successful
year of toy deliveries. Teams are tasked with building
spectacular snow forts and ice castles to withstand
one blizzard of a snowball fight! Think you have the
engineering skills to design and build a magnificent
structure that will have a snowball of a chance? Learn
about different types of structures, design a spectacular
snow fort or castle, and then test each other’s
designs when you try to knock them down. Take a spin
on the ice when you go ice skating on the Center’s
outdoor ice skating rink. Register
