Chattanooga, TN (07/04/25) – Celebrate America’s Independence Day at Creative Discovery Museum's annual Red, White, and Blue Day! On Friday, July 4, say "Happy Birthday" to America and participate in several themed crafts and activities that teach children and families about the reason the 4th of July is celebrated every year. Enjoy a science show about fire and fireworks colors, leave your mark on our collaborative mosaic, enjoy a classic CDM dance party, create patriotic Shrinky Dinks, and so much more!
To top the day off, revel in our exhilarating 21 Geyser Salute – A Creative Discovery Museum 4th of July tradition! A fun spin on the Coke and Mentos science experiment, we’ve been launching 21 soda geysers into the sky for years; some things never fizz out! Experience this exciting conclusion to the day, plus cool off and enjoy a popsicle on us. We can’t wait to see you there and celebrate America’s Independence Day with you!
