We are two weeks away from the Space Splash Spectacular, where science, water, and adventure come together for an unforgettable day of hands-on fun for all ages!
Date: Saturday, June 13, 2026
Time: 10am - 1pm
Location: This event will start at "The Sun" on the Downtown Gainesville Square, and end in Longwood Park at Lake Lanier. (We will have a shuttle running from Longwood Park back up to the Square, if you choose to walk a one way journey to 'Pluto', rather than a round trip back to the 'sun'!)
Event Highlights:
🚶♀️ Explore the Solar System Trail with a special passport booklet, where you will create a 'mark' at each planet you visit along the trail!
💧 Dive into expanded water-themed educational activities
🛶 Experience the Floating Classroom and enjoy exploration on Lake Lanier
🔬 Engage in exciting solar system and water-based STEM activities
Whether you're a future astronaut, a curious explorer, or just looking for a fun way to enjoy the beauty of Downtown Gainesville's Trail System connection to Lake Lanier, this event is for you!
👨👩👧👦 Bring the whole family and come ready to learn, play, and splash into discovery!
