Da Vinci Science Center Day Camps (Allentown, Franklin: house, buy, theater)

[KristyLiz]

I am going to sign my 7 year old for two of the day camps held at the Da Vinci science center. He loves it there and is a real science freak, so I hope it's all that it says it is.

Anyone ever sent their child?

Thanks!

where is that one? I was looking at one online,but i cant remember the name of it. I am going to try and search it out again now. I too was thinking of sending my boys there for 2 weeks. I am also thinking of looking into the one i wrote about last time-camp olympic.

Here is the link to the Da Vinci center Da Vinci Science Center, Allentown, PA

I looked up Camp Olympic and found a schedule, but i don't see a year, so it may be from last yera - tomorrow I will call.

Oh, and we bought a family membership ($75/year) and that will save us $25/per camp. Only my oldest can go though - my other two are too young.

With that membership, you can get into almost any science center, like the Franklin Institute in Philly.
If you buy the family membership at The Franklin Institute in Philly next year, it costs 95.00, but with that you get 6 imax tickets. They have a great imax theater, plus, the Franklin Institute has most of the world famous exhibts stop there. Most recently, The King Tut exhibit was there and you get generous ticket discounts, and you get into the Davinci center for free.
From Allentown you can be at the Franklin Institute in 90 minutes on the weekends.

We have a membership to the Franklin Institute as well. Before moving to Macungie in Oct, we lived 30 minutes from Philly, so we took the boys in all the time - they love that place!!

Our membership expires at the end of February, so we figured we'd buy a pass to the Da Vinci since it's literally 5 miles up the road.
