Just as back in April, Fry’s Food Stores is sponsoring free general admission this weekend (Oct. 24-26) at the Arizona Science Center.

Special discounted pricing will be offered on four of the Center’s ticketed experiences, including shows in the Dorrance Planetarium, movies in the IMAX Theater, a ride across the Evans Family SkyCycle and entrance into ROBOTS: The Interactive Exhibition.

The science center is also hosting a variety of hands-on demonstrations and activities throughout the weekend that include “Stomach This! A Digestion Demonstration,” “Elephants Toothpaste,” “Super Taster,” “Combustion,” “Static Electricity,” “Seeing Inside the Eye” and more.

In addition to free admission, guests will be able to try free samples of Fry’s products 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

But be on your best behavior — or not — because recruiters from the TV reality show Supernanny will be on site each day from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

A bestselling author and award-winning science journalist will give a free lecture Friday night, July 3, at the Arizona Science Center in Phoenix.

David Ewing Duncan will present “Experimental Man: What One Man’s Body Reveals About His Future, Your Health and Oour Toxic World” at Adults’ Night Out, a free event for anyone 18 and older. The evening begins at 5:30 p.m. with Duncan’s presentation at 7 p.m. and a showing of Sharks 3D in the IMAX Theater at 8:15 p.m. (regular IMAX fees apply).
