We are clearing the runway! ✈️

After years of soaring fun, Franklin Air Show will soon make its final descent as we make room for a sunnier experience.

Visit the exhibit today before it is cleared for departure on January 5, 2026.

Our friends at the United States Mint may be moving on from the penny, but Ben Franklin’s wisdom continues to make perfect cents. 🪙

#DYK: Franklin never actually said, “A penny saved is a penny earned.” He did, however, write in the 1737 Poor Richard’s Almanack: “A penny saved is two pence clear.”

Set your clocks back this Sunday! ⏰

Benjamin Franklin didn’t invent Daylight Saving Time—he just wanted to save candlelight in 1784.

Watch time in motion at The Franklin Institute’s Foucault’s Pendulum and use your extra hour for hands-on science! 🌍🫀

🎃 Happy Halloween! 👻 There’s no better way to celebrate than by exploring the science behind... of fear!
