Toxic Toys

Get Holiday Gifts Tested for Toxins

Bring new children’s gifts, including toys, jewelry, backpacks, and more to the Science Factory to be tested for levels of 8 different dangerous chemicals. New children’s products only, please.

Two gifts to be screened, per adult, are included with $4 admission to the Science Factory. Science Factory members are free. Additional items can be tested for $2 each. Kids are welcome to accompany you, and we will take precautions to help keep your gift a surprise to them. Admission for children 3 and older is also $4.
