Discovery Series
The Air Zoo’s Discovery Series is a compilation of events and activities, created with a few specific things in mind for a multi-generational audience – inspiration, education, opportunity, and entertainment! The team at the Air Zoo has inspired youthful imaginations across the region for nearly a decade and has found that the desire for inspiration, education and engagement really spans all ages. From simply outstanding to world-famous, you will find an array of inspiring programs and remarkable humans in the Air Zoo’s Discovery Series. From change-makers and trend-setters to just plain science-fun you are sure to find programs, speakers and subjects that ignite your imagination and speak to your interest. Join us, and be inspired as you mingle, enjoy refreshments, and have your curiosity ignited!
