Event Details

Registration for Animal Eyes Science Program will open at 9:00AM on Wednesday, July 2nd for Manheim Township and East Lampeter residents and on Wednesday, July 9th for residents of other municipalities.

Did you know humans see only 7 colors in the rainbow — but some animals see way more… and some see way less? From bees that can detect ultraviolet patterns on flowers to owls that rule the night with super-powered night vision, the animal kingdom sees the world in amazing ways we can barely imagine!

Join us for some fun, hands-on "eyeball experiments" to explore how animals view the world around them. Find out which creatures see in the dark, which are nearly colorblind, and which see colors we didn’t even know existed! You’ll never look at your own eyes — or your pets’ — the same way again.

Ages 6-9 years.
