Pi Day
Pi is an irrational number, but there’s nothing crazy about celebrating Math—and Einstein’s birthday. Join us on 3.14 to explore how Pi is all around us—even in the sky!
Indulge your inner math geek with hands-on activities and fun experiments that make numbers and science come to life on this special date. And of course, no Pi Day celebration would be complete without a taste of pi(e)!
Weather & Water Week
Spring Break is Weather & Water Week and HMNS at Sugar Land is open every day! Join us as we dive into a week of exploration with our partners, the City of Sugar Land Public Works Department, and on the weekends with our SciTeen volunteers, and Texas Master Naturalists – Coastal Prairie Chapter.
Every day we will explore the wonders of weather and water with fun activities. Learn how we predict and prepare for severe weather in our community. Included with general admission. Discover where the water in your faucet comes from and how YOU can conserve it.

Sensory Friendly Events
Three times a year, HMNS at Sugar Land offers Sensory Friendly Events where exhibits and venues are modified to create a sensory neutral environment for those with autism and sensory sensitivities. Sensory Backpacks, which include ear defenders, sunglasses, and fidgets, are available to check out with an ID at the Box Office, and Touch Carts with tactile specimens to explore will be available throughout the museum’s permanent exhibit halls. Pre-registration is required for these events, which take place during the hour before the Museum opens to the public. Tickets may be purchased at a discounted rate. Free permanent exhibit hall admission for Sensory Friendly Events at HMNS at Sugar Land is made possible by proceeds from our annual fundraiser, Jingle Tree. We are grateful to all our generous donors for their support.
