Did you know the study of birds is called “ornithology”?

It’s also the theme of Liberty Science Center’s newest activity for young learners! Every day, you can experience We Explore: Birdology, an interactive adventure that lets kids ages 2-5 learn all about feathered friends.

There are two ways to experience the activity: you can either be a birdwatcher, or you can be the bird!

When you’re the birdwatcher, you’ll channel your inner citizen scientist and grab a pair of binoculars to seek out different northeastern songbirds. How many can you find? Be on the lookout for red-winged blackbirds, downy woodpeckers, and American goldfinches.

When you’re the bird, you’ll grab a pair of wings and become a blue jay! Learn how birds create their nests by using toy sticks to build your own.

Experience We Explore: Birdology on weekdays from 9:00 am – 10:30 am and 2:30 pm – 4:00 pm, and weekends from 12:00 pm – 1:30 pm and 4:00 pm – 5:30 pm.

We Explore is an interactive adventure series for kids ages 2-5, held in our I Explore exhibition, with new themes all the time.
