STEAM Summer | June 2026

Scientific Explorations

Long days begin with curiosity.

In June, STEAM Summer at the San Bernardino County Museum invites families to explore through play, experimentation, and a little bit of mess. This is a month for testing ideas, trying new things, and discovering how the world works—one hands-on activity at a time.

Each Saturday from 10a.m.–3 p.m., children can dive into playful experiences that bubble, launch, and spin:

  1. June 6: Bubbles (come prepared—this one gets messy! Please bring a change of clothes for your children.)
  2. June 13: String Telephones
  3. June 20: Rockets
  4. June 27: Thaumatropes

Activities take place across the STEAM Lab, outdoor classroom, and museum galleries, creating space to move, explore, and engage from one moment to the next.

STEAM Lab Entry:

Timed wristbands are required for STEAM Lab access and are available daily throughout the summer (June–August). Each wristband allows for a 30-minute session, helping ensure a comfortable and engaging experience for all visitors.

This month is about freedom—of movement, of thought, and of play. It’s a chance for children to follow their curiosity and for families to rediscover the joy of simple exploration.

Admission:
• $10 adults
• $8 military or seniors
• $7 students
• $5 children ages 6–12
• Free for children five and under
• Museum Foundation members receive 50% off admission

Parking is free, and the museum is accessible to persons with disabilities.
