Explore NYSCI with your community or scout group during a specially-themed day. Each experience lasts two-and-a-half hours and includes a lunch reservation in the dining area (you may bring your own food or purchase from the NYSCI Café). Groups of 24 or more may book space, with a maximum of 30 people per group. If your group has more than 30 people, the group may be split into two. At the end of the program, groups are welcome to stay for free exploration in NYSCI until closing time.
