Science “Myth-Conceptions” Spy Camp

Sometimes truth IS stranger than fiction…especially in science. Here at Spy Camp we have heard some scientific tall tales, but like all good scientists we need lots of evidence to separate the facts from fantasy. The Franklin’s team of Special Agents is working diligently to smash open these science stories and needs the help of your spies to do it. Bring your group to our all-new Science “Myth-Conceptions” Spy Camp to investigate some fractured science tales.

Join us for Spy Camp, part of The Franklin’s popular overnight Camp-In program. Camp-In combines live shows and hands-on science activities with an action-packed visit. The museum’s regular exhibits are yours to explore all night long. Camp-In includes:

  • a super-sized live science show
  • hands-on science workshops
  • a giant screen film in the Tuttleman IMAX Theater
  • an astronomy show in the Fels Planetarium
  • all our exciting general admission exhibits like the new Amazing Machine, The Giant Heart Exhibit, and Sports Challenge



Each camper (13 and under) receives the official Camp-In patch, entitling them to FREE museum admission throughout the 2007-2008 school year.
Patch does not include the IMAX Theater or specially ticketed exhibits for which there is an additional fee.
Patch discount not valid when return visit is part of an organized group.
