If staying up until midnight to ring in the New Year doesn&#8217;t interest you, than bring the kids to Science Central on Tuesday, December 31st from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. to celebrate Countdown to Noon. This is the 14th year that Science Central, in collaboration with WAJI Majic 95.1, and sponsorship by Lake City Bank, has provided this family-friendly alternative to New Year&#8217;s Eve celebrations.<\/p>\n<p>The event will feature a variety of activity tables and science demonstrations; all focused on traditional New Year&#8217;s Eve activities.  Children&#8217;s activities will include making party hats, noisemakers, and face painting.  Visitors will also be able to view city lights around the world on Science Central&#8217;s new permanent exhibit, Science On a Sphere.<\/p>\n<p>As the noon hour approaches, visitors will enjoy a brief soda pop toast, and the assembled crowd will countdown the seconds till noon with Science Central&#8217;s Executive Director Martin S. Fisher.  The festivities will culminate with the annual balloon drop, with nearly 2,000 Lake City Bank balloons cascading down from the ceiling.<\/p>\n<p>Admission is $8 per person, ages 3 and over. Science Central will be open from 10 am to 4 pm on December 31. Members are admitted free.<\/p>\n<p>Science Central, a non-profit 501(c) 3 organization, has provided a hands-on fun learning environment for over 18 years.  Through our 120+ exhibits, school tours, distance learning programs and weekend public events, we bring the excitement of science and technology to over 130,000 children and adults annually.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, contact Science Central at 260-424-2400 or visit us on the web at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencecentral.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">www.sciencecentral.org<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>Related Images:<\/h3><div class=\"ngg-related-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/science-central\/81549.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"The north side of Science Central.
