THE PROFESSOR IS SO EXCITED!!!!

His home (the Temecula Children's Museum) has been nominated by Nickelodeon for a 2009 Parents' Picks Award!

That means that parents (like you!) think this is a great place for kids, and Professor Pennypickle couldn't be more pleased. But HE NEEDS YOUR HELP!

He'd like you to VOTE every day until July 15 and tell your friends to vote, too! The Professor knows there is tough competition from some wonderful museums in San Diego, but with YOUR HELP, we can be known as the BEST and most fun place to learn science while you're playing with the Professor's inventions and stuff!!

So please take a minute to VOTE NOW by clicking on the Parents' Picks Award logo and choosing the Temecula Children's Museum as your Parents' Pick!

(After YOU vote, click here to see who else is voting for the Temecula Children's Museum!)

Science Adventures: Ultimate Bubbles
Friday, June 26, 5:30-7:30 p.m.

There's something magical about a bubble, even though it is just a little puff of air trapped in a thin film of soap and water. Become a bubble-ologist tonight as we play with bubbles and try to make the ultimate SUPER bubble!


Tickets for Ultimate Bubbles are $5 per person. They may be purchased here and will be held for you at the door.

The Imagination Workshop will be closed on Saturday, July 4th so that the Professor and Beaker can have fun at Temecula's Independence Day events!


Food Science: Ice Cream
Friday, July 10, 5:30-7:30 p.m.

We scream for ice cream because we love it... now we'll figure out the science behind it (and then we'll eat it!). Explore the laws of physics by making "fried" ice cream, and discover why you need ice and salt to make a delicious concoction.

Tickets for Food Science: Ice Cream are $5 per person. They may be purchased here and will be held for you at the door.

Pennypickle's special events are fundraisers to help support programs and events at the Imagination Workshop, and will be hosted by the Friends of the Temecula Children’s Museum, a 501 c3 non-profit organization.

Please call Pennypickles gift shop at 951-308-6376 if you have questions about any events, or if you would like to purchase tickets by phone.

Your generous support will insure more fun happenings in the Professor's house and be sure to shop at Pennypickles for fun and unusual toys and gifts! Proceeds from the gift shop also help to benefit events and programs for the Imagination Workshop.

Please consider making a tax-deductible donation to the Friends of the Temecula Children's Museum... you can do it here...
