Sock Skating Rink, Winter Train Ride Come To Liberty Science Center

JERSEY CITY, NJ — Liberty Science Center in Jersey City has a host of activities planned for kids from the day after Christmas through Jan. 1 — and it's accessible by public transportation.

The science center said in a release, "From Dec. 26 through Jan. 1, you're invited to join us as we celebrate the joy — and the science — of the season."

They announced these features:

• Travel in style aboard the LSC Winter Train Ride, making daily stops in the giant Art and Science Pavilion.
• Try Sock Skating on our synthetic ice rink. Slip and glide without freezing.
• Meet a live penguin or a wolf dog at a Winter Animal Show (penguins on Dec. 27 and 28, and wolf dogs on Dec. 29 and 30).
• Work out your seasonal joy on the dance floor at the Holiday Dance Party.
• Enjoy bonus seasonal Live Science Shows and play the Snowman Riddle Scavenger Hunt game.

The features will be included with any admission ticket to the Science Center on those dates.

They're also offering, with separate tickets, a Mariah Carey Holiday Laser Show, a Laser Wonderland show, or any of the amazing planetarium shows in the Jennifer Chalsty Planetarium.

They've also got an exhibit going on, The Science Behind Pixar, "one of our most popular premium exhibitions ever."

They said that if you visit between Dec. 14 and Dec. 24, you can help us break in the “ice” on the Sock Skating Rink before it opens.

The museum has parking, but it's also steps from the Liberty State Park stop on the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail train, which snakes through Weehawken, Hoboken, Jersey City, and Bayonne, and connects to train and ferry stops to Manhattan.
