DVEC Update: Planning Week and Exciting Changes Ahead
As we prepare for our busiest season, the Disease Vector Education Center will be pausing programs from May 6–10 for a dedicated planning week. This time allows our team to develop new and engaging experiences designed to better serve our community. Don’t worry there will still be many fun experiences for you to enjoy when you visit!
We are working on:
• New programs and interactive activities
• Updated and improved educational experiences
• Anticipating future adjustments to operational days and hours to better align with visitor needs
• A refreshed lineup for Crazy Science
• Brand new scavenger hunts tied to our new DVEC Passport System
We are also excited to share that ticks will be featured as our Vector of the Month in May in recognition of Lyme Disease Awareness Month, helping bring awareness to prevention and disease vectors.
Our full May calendar will be released later this week, so stay tuned for all upcoming events and updates.
Please note: DVEC will be CLOSED May 24, 2026 in observance of Memorial Day.
We look forward to sharing these new experiences and opportunities to learn. Thank you for your continued support as we grow and improve.
Let’s continue to learn and protect our community together!
