Celebrate Pixar's Elio and Space!- The Franklin Institute
*The event has already taken place on this date: Sat, 06/14/2025
Prepare for liftoff! In celebration of Disney and Pixar’s upcoming film Elio (in theaters June 20), join us for a day of hands-on imagination-fueled fun for space explorers of all ages.
Just like Elio—a curious kid who accidentally becomes Earth’s ambassador to outer space—you’ll journey through the cosmos on your own adventure throughout our two-story Wondrous Space exhibit and space-themed programming.
Please help us keep this calendar up to date! If this activity is sold out, canceled, or otherwise needs alteration, email mindy@kidsoutandabout.com so we can update it immediately. If you have a question about the activity itself, please contact the organization administrator listed below.
- From building slime that glows in the dark to designing your own Communiverse cape, every activity aims to inspire curiosity, creativity, and connection, just like Elio’s intergalactic mission.
- Don't miss a special live science show exclusive to this day: Build-A-Space-Suit, a homemade approach to what it takes to make that first leap into space.
- Plus! Find one of three hidden Elio character cutouts to win a prize pack that includes four tickets to see the film. Bonus: One lucky finder will also receive a free family membership!
- Hint: Search for “Elio” and friends exclusively in our space-related areas!
- The hunt begins when doors open at 9:30 a.m.
- Character cutouts can be redeemed for prizes at Ticketing on the second floor.
Elio will not be showing at The Franklin Institute, but you can catch a special trailer of the upcoming film before each Planetarium show during the event.
