Hands-On Holiday Toy Shop December 10th at Clark Planetarium

‘Tis the season for giving, and Clark Planetarium invites the public to celebrate the spirit of giving in style at the Hands-On Holiday Toy Shop on Saturday, December 10th, 2016 from 10:00a.m. to 1:00p.m.

During the Hands-On Holiday Toy Shop, gift-givers and receivers of all ages can try the toys in Clark Planetarium’s “Planet Fun” store before making a final purchase. “Giving and getting toys is sometimes a little bit difficult because you never know if what you’re getting is what you expect,” said Mike Sheehan, manager of Planet Fun. “Our goal with the Hands-On Holiday Toy Shop is to take the guesswork out of giving, and to get kids and their parents excited about science and educational toys.”

Entry to the Planetarium’s exhibits galleries remains free as usual, allowing parents and kids to shop and play at the same time. Families can play with the toys and experience the Planetarium’s all-new exhibits program, which debuted in October 2016.
