The weeklong Wisconsin Science Festival features events throughout Wisconsin for people of all ages. Activities include hands-on science experiments, live Q&A sessions and interviews with scientists, demonstrations, performances, behind-the-scenes tours and more.
Explore nature at our BioBlitz. Take in a book talk with an award-winning author. Get a new perspective on time. And snap a selfie with Beesly – our buzzy mascot!

Each year, we highlight a specific aspect of the world around us. This year, in celebration of the many milestone anniversaries happening around our state, we are proud to focus on time and its influence on science, art and technology.
