Get messy at the Carnegie Science Center
This is one time it’s OK to be messy.
In fact, it’s encouraged.
MessFest at the Carnegie Science Center on the North Side is Wednesday. The annual New Year’s Day tradition is in its 14th year and invites children of all ages to come and enjoy the first day of 2020 which will feature the slimiest, yuckiest, and gooiest activities.
