Get your science on, for only $5

This Saturday, February 19, admission to the Orlando Science Center is only $5 for all ages -- that's a savings of $7-12 each, depending on the age of the visitor.

OSC has a number of great events going on right now, so the Saturday savings are even more impressive when you consider all you get. Mission Nutrition is back for a fourth edition, featuring "the latest in medical technology, nutrition and fitness," with demos by area professionals.

There's also a lot of monkey business going on, with two primate-themed exhibits: Curious George for the youngre set (featuring the childhood favorite exploring his neighborhood with The Man in the Yellow Hat) and Jane Goodall's Wild Chimpanzees on the giant screen for visitors of all ages.

This is a great deal for admission to one of the country's top science centers. Get there early and plan to spend the day.

The Orlando Science Center is located near downtown Orlando, about half an hour from the main theme parks area, at 777 East Princeton Street. For more information, call 407-514-2000.
