Join us at the CSUSB College of Natural Sciences Science Carnival, a FREE event open to the public on Friday, October 24th 2025, from 9AM-2 PM in the PE-Gym at CSUSB. Parking and attendance are FREE, with parking available in Lot L at 5500 University Pkwy, San Bernardino, CA 92407.

Yes, we ask that all families interested in attending the CNS Science Carnival sign up at the below registration website. The information that we collect in this registration will allow us to communicate with you in advance of the event.

Reserve your spot today and be part of this exciting event!

The CNS Science Carnival is a free community event sponsored by the College of Natural Sciences and its community partners.

Free parking is available on the CSUSB campus.

Your child(ren) will have the opportunity to see and engage in different science activities and demonstrations. Some of the favorite activities include marshmallow shooters, the self-carving pumpkin, liquid nitrogen frozen treats, the Ekho sonar experience, and hands-on inflating pig's lungs. All activities are run by volunteers, including CSUSB students and faculty members and community members.

We suggest dressing in layers and bringing water, as plans often change once your child dives into all the exciting activities—they’ll likely want to stay longer than expected! Throughout the evening, kids will be busy creating hands-on STEM projects like slime, a motor, lip balm, or hair gel. To make it easier to carry these fun creations, consider bringing a "goodie" bag. Most importantly, don’t forget to bring along your curiosity and enthusiasm!

Absolutely! Please register for the event and indicate that you will be bringing a bus of students in the registration form so we can provide details regarding unloading of students and a parking location for the bus. A teacher or chaperone to student ratio of 1:10 is highly encouraged.
