- To celebrate its 25th anniversary, Explorit hosted a hands-on family science festival on Saturday, April 28, 2007. The free public event took place at both Explorit’s main facility, 2801 Second Street, and at its Mace Park Branch, 3141 Fifth Street in Davis. Visitors took a trip back in time to see how Explorit has grown and changed since its founding in 1982 and tried out some favorite science activities from the past 25 years. Special events at the festival included the unveiling of the “Give Explorit a Hand” donor wall and the dedication of ["Standing Wave"], an outdoor science-art sculpture by local artist Chris Daubert. Later this year, Explorit will be planning a reunion gathering for the many staff, trustees and volunteers who have contributed to the Center's growth and success since 1982.	+ To celebrate its 25th anniversary, Explorit hosted a hands-on family science festival on April 28, 2007.

- After several years of planning and fundraising to expand its facilities, in spring 2006 Explorit publicly announced its plans to expand into the south side of the ["Davis Indoor Sports Center"] building. This new site opened to the public on September 23, ["2006"] and was celebrated with a Grand Opening Festival on October 14, 2006. The facility features hands-on exhibits, a Discovery Room, a Microscope Nook, a Wet Lab, an Animal Alcove and more. Additional galleries and exhibit spaces will be phased in over the next year at the site. This 2801 2nd St. site is now Explorit's primary public location. The old location, the Mace Park Branch on ["5th Street"], continues to be used by Explorit for school field trips focused on nature themes that utilize the surrounding park, as the main site for summer day camps and as the hub for Explorit's outreach programs. More information is available at the Explorit website. Before Explorit was in its ["Mace Ranch"] location, it was at 2828 ["Cowell Boulevard"], where there was a large mural of a head with long, wild hair. This building now has offices for the ["UC Davis Bookstore"], and has a mural of the ["Aggie Logo"].	+ After several years of planning and fundraising to expand its facilities, in spring 2006 Explorit publicly announced its plans to expand into the south side of the ["Davis Indoor Sports Center"] building.

More information is available at the Exporit website.	+ After several years of planning and fundraising to expand its facilities, in spring 2006 Explorit publicly announced its plans to expand into the south side of the ["Davis Indoor Sports Center"] building. This new site opened to the public on September 23, 2006 and was celebrated with a Grand Opening Festival on October 14, 2006. The facility features hands-on exhibits, a Discovery Room, a Microscope Closer Look Nook and more. Additional galleries and exhibit spaces will be phased in over the next year at the site. This 2801 2nd St. site is now Explorit's primary public location. The old location, the Mace Park Branch on ["5th Street"], will continue to be used by Explorit for school field trips focused on nature themes that utilize the surrounding park and as the hub for Explorit's outreach programs. More information is available at the Explorit website.
