SUMMARY:FREE MUSEUM DAY during the PHILLY HOLIDAY EXPERIENCE
DESCRIPTION:Come visit on Free Museum Day during the Philly Holiday Experience! We will be offering tours on the hour from 11 am to 2 pm and we will have a fun\, hands-on\, pop-up activity from 11 am – 3 pm in our LAB: \nFish: Playing it Cool around the Holidays! \nDo you wonder what happens in the Schuylkill river in the winter?  What do the fish and other animals do when the water gets cold? Learn about the cold-blooded residents of the Schuylkill river and how they survive the winter.  You will also discover a physical difference between hot and cold water and how that can affect fish in the winter. Be creative and make a fish ornament to take home!
