In addition, for the first time in our 70 year history, we’ll be open seven days a week,” said Aragon Burlingham, Executive Director of CuriOdyssey. “The demand is always there from our community, which is why we offer camps, classes, and workshops year-round, as well as free admission, memberships, and scholarship opportunities to increase access to science education.
