When Snow Can Be Used as Currency

For the past few years the Carnegie Science Center has been hosting this fun day on the summer solstice where if you bring in a snowball, you get to name your own admission.  I don't think they like to say free, because they're hoping you'll donate something.  So if you'd like to take the family to the Science Center in June for cheap, here's what you'll need to do:




1.  Clear out room in your freezer to store the snowball.
2.  Make a snowball.  Don't make it silly big.  Remember you need to store it.
3.  Put it in your freezer until June.
4.  Bring it to the Science Center on June 20.
5.  Don't be a jerk.  Bring at least 50 cents or something.
6.  Have a fun day at the Science Center!  You'll get to throw your snowballs into the Ohio River.

  1. How do you keep the snowball from not melting from the freezer to the museum? Interesting idea!

  2. That's a cute idea! You'd really have to want to do this to keep that snowball alive for 6 months.

    1. True. I did it when I was a kid...had to give up my popsicle space for a few months. :)

  4. Ooh I would do this! It'd be neat if they incorporated the snowballs into some science activity when you arrive :)

    1. I think they teach you a bit about how snow is formed whenever they have you throw it into the Ohio river. :) They have a ton of info in the link above, too!
