South Florida Science Museum
ExerScience
The new “burn and learn” concept!
Every Saturday from 9:30am-10:30am starting on January 5, 2013
WHAT
Attention all moms… Stick to those New Year’s resolutions by 
attending a weekly Saturday Zumba class at the South Florida Science Museum. The added benefit is that while you burn off those holiday cookies, your young scientist can enjoy a fun and interactive science program. This new “burn and learn” concept is sure to satisfy all parties involved. Additional perks include admission to the Museum, top notch science instruction, a Health Science nutritional guide and a Subway coupon toward “eating fresh.”
“This isn’t a typical set-up where mom goes to the gym and her child is babysat with video games or a movie,” said Kate Arrizza, Chief Operating Officer for the SFSM. “Parents can rest assured they are doing something good for themselves and their child – the perfect multi-tasking parenting solution! While mom (or dad) is getting fit, their child will be performing science labs, learning about new constellations in the planetarium, or getting up close and personal with the sea animals in our touch tank – and with kids their own age. After class, kids can take mom or dad on a tour of the museum to explore more about what they just experienced, and even stay for lunch at the Museum’s Subway shop. We think it will make for a great Saturday morning tradition where everyone wins!”
