Take a deeper look at chemistry sets and science toys through the lens of design! Join us for a Day of Play where you can explore, learn, and of course play with science and design through spotlight talks, tours, and interactive demonstrations.
Tour Our Tiny Labs
Take short tours of the Science at Play exhibition, where you can explore the world of science in miniature. Get the inside scoop on the set design and graphics from Science at Play curator Jane E. Boyd.
Hack This (Science) Game
Do these games help you better understand scientific concepts? Does their design improve game play? You be the judge. Play with science-themed card and board games, and then submit your own ideas for improving their design and making them better.
Tanks and Tubes
Hydrodynamic sets allow you to use tanks, valves, pumps, and pipes to build scale models powered by water. Put your engineering mind to work in teams to design and construct a building.
Science, Design, and DIY
It's our turn for show and tell with everything from a wacky corporate science game to fascinating and highly designed objects in our collection.

Advance registration is appreciated, but tickets will also be available for purchase at the door.
Day of Play is presented as part of DesignPhiladelphia, the oldest open-sourced design event in the country. Over the course of nine days in October, universities, cultural institutions, city agencies, retailers, manufacturers, and creative firms across the city participate by hosting more than 130 events on topics spanning across design disciplines.
