WHAM's Great Solar Eclipse


8 April 2024

Monday, April 8, 2024
1:00pm to 4:00pm

As a result of construction and safety concerns on the museum grounds and a change in scheduling from the Science Centre, WHAM has needed to revise programming for the Solar Eclipse happening on Monday, April 8.

The museum will now be offering drop-in solar themed art activities for kids, between 1:00pm and 4:00pm. Along with these activities, visitors will receive a free pair of Official Solar Glasses provided by the Ontario Science Centre for eclipse viewing (while supplies last).

Admission by donation.

 

WHAM will be hosting three stations for participants to create their very own eclipse crafts!

To ensure everyone’s safety, wait times should be expected as there is limited capacity.
