On Juneteenth, students who have the day off from school can visit the Buffalo Museum of Science for free. The Independent Health Association is sponsoring a Community Health Day at the museum located at 1020 Humboldt Parkway from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. This annual event offers outdoor activities, giveaways, and access to Independent Health’s community partners such as University at Buffalo PREPARE, GObike Buffalo, and Buffalo Lafayette Optimist Club who will provide health and wellness information. Other partners include the UB School of Nursing, School of Pharmacy and Pharmacology, and Blue Flag Memorial Project.
Families in the area can explore the museum’s interactive exhibits and galleries at no cost during the event. Additionally, the museum’s rooftop will be open until 3 p.m. for solar viewing, weather permitting, with the museum closing at 4 p.m. The event typically attracts over 1,500 guests, making it a popular community gathering. More information can be found at sciencebuff.org.
Attending the Community Health Day at the Buffalo Museum of Science is an excellent way for students and families to enjoy educational and interactive experiences while also gaining valuable health and wellness information from various community partners. It is a great way to spend the day off while also learning and exploring in a fun and engaging environment.
Make sure to take advantage of this free opportunity on Juneteenth to participate in the event and make the most of your day off from school!
