Bring your Valentine to Optricks Days at Taco Bell Discovery Science Center on Saturday and Sunday, Feb. 14 and 15! The event is free with paid admission and includes eye-popping activities showcasing the science of light.

On Saturday, Valentine’s Day, the Southern California College of Optometry Eye Care Center will be offering complimentary eye screenings, including visual acuity tests, eye alignment, and screening for refractive error.

Throughout the weekend, hands-on demonstrations and exciting workshops for kids will be offered including Making Spinning Color Wheels, Smoke & Mirrors, Eyeball Optics, Making Rainbows, Fun with Moiré patterns, Fresnel Lenses, Lasers and much more.
