WCL Event Calendar

Every February, the Magnet Lab invites the public to spend the day at its world-class research laboratory, and every February, they come by the thousands.

Open House typically attracts around 5,000 guests. This year's event will be held on Saturday, February 18 from 10 AM to 3 PM.

This free event features something for visitors of every age: hands-on demonstrations, self-guided tours, activities from our Community Classroom Consortium partners, food, and the chance to meet and chat with our scientists and other Mag Lab staff. It's also a chance to do good for the community: The canned goods we collect as the unofficial price of admission go to America's Second Harvest Food Bank of the Big Bend.

Open House offers an up-close look at our record-breaking 45-tesla hybrid magnet, our 900-megahertz superconducting magnet and other powerful research instruments. A special Kids Zone features hands-on science fun designed especially for young children.

With information and activities targeting a variety of ages, this event has become a popular family outing and is a can't-miss opportunity to show children how fun science can be.
