Solar System Explorers: Tour 2 – Rocky Planets (Twinkle Tots)

Saturdays: Twinkle Tots Session (ages 3-6 yrs)

Sundays: Space Cadets Session (ages 7 & up)

Grab your space passport and adventure with us to the far-off reaches of our Solar System. This program will visit different planets each month. Solar System Explorers will be able to fill in their passports along the way and earn their very own solar system explorers patch at the completion of their journey. Visit each planet and get a planet sticker for your passport. Fill in all the planets and you become an official Solar System Explorer! Each month will feature different planets to visit, but we will also take a look at what is up in our sky for that month.

Tour 2 (Feb 21 & 22) – And we’re off! Let’s go visit the ROCKY planets in our Solar System, starting with the planet closest to our star, Mercury! We will also tour Venus, stop and take a look at our own Earth, and end up on Mars!

Tour 3 (Mar 28 & 29) – Up next, the GAS GIANTS! Let’s see just what is so special about the largest planets in our Solar System! Why do they look the way they do? What are they made of? We will visit Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, & Neptune.

Tour 4 (April 25 & 26) – Last but not least, we have the DWARF Planets! Pluto is one of the most well known of the dwarf planets in our Solar System, but there are several more! We can also check out the asteroid belt and some of the more interesting moons around other planets.

If you have successfully completed ALL FOUR TOURS, you will be awarded the Solar System Explorer Certificate and badge. Congratulations! You are now officially a Solar System Explorer!
