We all know from Star Trek that space is the final frontier, and in 2021 we saw a big jump in space exploration. Now, if you want to get closer to the stars you can see a new exhibit in Metro Detroit that will take you on a journey to our future.

Here’s a unique idea for a loved one: There are a lot of exciting things to discover at the Michigan Science Center in Midtown, Detroit, said Christian Grear, president and CEO. Grear showed us all the fun things at the Center, which includes an illusional room that lets you look bigger or smaller, based on the side of the room you’re on. The Science Center also features a variety of interactive exhibits for physics and chemistry. You can expect to see fun science experiments and things explode -- but in a safe place for all. As families are looking for new and cool things to do, consider checking out or gifting an experience at the Michigan Science Center, Grear said.

It’s now Day 3 of our 12 Days of Giving. We are hoping to make your holidays a little brighter by giving away $500 in cash each day for 12 days, along with bonus prizes. “It’s always 84 degrees and sunny at Kalahari, making it a great place for family fun,” the company said.

What are your holiday traditions for the kids? Our Live ln the D friend of the show Kerry Doman from Little Guide Detroit is here to share her ideas to make the holidays even more special for the kids. Kerry Doman suggested having kids help you decorate the tree with their own favorite ornament. She also suggested gifting the kids with an ornament that symbolizes the year or their growth. In addition, Kerry gave some pointerS on how to make your gingerbread house sick together and stand tall throughout the holiday season.
