WEST SACRAMENTO, CA (MPG) – Yolo County Supervisor Oscar Villegas invites Yolo County residents to enjoy a free admission to the family-friendly Yolo Day at the SMUD Museum of Science and Curiosity (MOSAC) in Sacramento on Saturday, Nov. 21, from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. The event offers families an opportunity to explore hands-on exhibits, discover science and technology and enjoy one of the region’s leading science museums at no cost.

Located at 400 Jibboom Street in Sacramento, MOSAC features interactive exhibits that bring science, technology, engineering and nature to life. Visitors can explore exhibits at their own pace, take part in hands-on learning experiences, and discover new ways to engage with the world around them.

“Every family deserves the opportunity to experience places like MOSAC, where learning is fun, hands-on, and accessible to everyone,” Supervisor Villegas said. “I’m excited to welcome Yolo County residents back for another year of discovery and exploration. This is a great opportunity for families to spend time together, try something new and spark an interest in science that can last a lifetime.”

This year’s Yolo Day will also feature telescopes outside the museum lobby and the Yolo Basin Foundation’s new Mobile Visitor Center, offering additional opportunities for visitors to explore science and the natural world.

“We are excited to welcome our friends and neighbors across the river to Supervisor Villegas’ annual Yolo Day,” Executive Director of MOSAC Carlos Gonzalez-Jaime said. “As the region’s leading cultural destination for science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics (STEAM) education and exploration, we look forward to watching and connecting with Yolo County families as they experience everything we have to offer, from solar system explorations to immersive laser shows.”

Supervisor Villegas will welcome attendees with brief remarks beginning around 9:30 a.m. Although event check-in ends at 1 p.m., registered participants who arrive by that time are welcome to remain at the museum until its regular closing time of 5 p.m.

Admission is free for Yolo County residents, but space is limited and tickets are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Residents are encouraged to register early.

To request tickets, residents should email [email protected], Assistant Deputy to Supervisor Villegas, with the following information: first and last name, email address, phone number; address and number of adults and children attending (children under age 2 do not need to be counted).
