Events at the Science Spectrum & OMNI Theater
“The Science Spectrum & OMNI Theater hosts community-wide events, and we’ve been doing it for 20-plus years,” says Moyers. “CritterFest is our biggest event. Lubbock doesn’t have a public zoo, so we bring the zoo to you.” CritterFest is usually in June and offers interactive experiences such as elephant and camel rides. The headlining animals change every year, and for 2025, the museum is hosting a raptor and tropical bird show. Seasonal events such as the Halloween Carnival in the fall offer hands-on science experiments and critter viewings; Holiday Wonderland in the winter has live science experiments, meetings with Santa and plenty of sweet treats.
Feeding elephants is a fun event for Waters kids at CritterFest.
