The Cade Museum Is Out of this World With Moon to Mars Exhibit Museum to receive real-time data from the International Space Station
Gainesville, FL, Jul 2, 2020 – The Cade Museum’s new exhibit and theme, Moon to Mars, will launch July 3rd. Micro exhibits throughout the building will help to educate guests on space and space travel.

These activities will encourage guests to learn more about what it takes to colonize the moon and travel to Mars, as well as the solutions inventors are discovering to make this a reality. One of the most exciting parts of the space theme will be the connection between the Cade Museum and the International Space Station.

The Cade Museum to Debut Ice-Skating Rink and The Science of Cool on July 3rd
Weekly Theme Nights Add to the Unique Summer Skate Experience Gainesville, FL June 22, 2020 – The Cade Museum for Creativity and Invention will open a synthetic ice-skating rink in the building’s rotunda on July 3rd. This skating rink dovetails with the museum’s summer celebration of cool inventions. Air conditioning, refrigeration, and artificial ice aren’t just modern conveniences, it's life-changing technology that has enabled cities to grow in places where they couldn’t exist before. Visitors will learn how Florida-based inventors, like John Gorrie and Khanh Din, have played pivotal roles in all things “cool!” Museum guests can reserve a skating time upon entering the museum, and the cost of skating is included with museum admission. Adults and children ages five and up can skate using real, Cade-supplied ice skates and younger children will have the option of sock skating. Skating hours will initially be Fridays and Saturdays, from Noon to 4:45 pm, and the skating rink will remain at the museum through August 23rd. Space for each session is limited. Each Thursday, the museum will also host themed evening skating parties, beginning with a Cade Member preview space-themed skating party on July 2nd. A superhero-themed evening skating party will be hosted for the public on July 9th. Advance registration is required for themed skating parties, which cost $5 for guests, and $3 for Cade Members. Learn more and register for a themed skating party today at CadeMuseum.org/Calendar. “We are thrilled to offer this unique experience to guests of the museum,” said Stephanie Bailes, Executive Director of The Cade Museum. “In addition to fostering a spirit of purposeful creativity and providing one-of-a-kind summer memories through this fun and engaging activity we are celebrating world-changing inventions from Florida,” she added. Funding for the skating rink comes from The Cade's Nature and Culture Destination Enhancement Grant, awarded by the Alachua County Board of County Commissioners, in conjunction with Visit Gainesville, Alachua County. “According to research from Americans for the Arts, cultural non-profits attract travelers and are good for tourism, support the local economy, and make the community a better place to live,” said Tourism Manager Jessica Hurov. “The Cade Museum’s adaptive plan to create new experiences in response to programmatic changes due to COVID-19 exemplifies profound resiliency as our community works together to support Alachua County’s tourism-generating cultural institutions, and we are proud to assist in their efforts.” In addition to this new, exciting activity at the museum, the Cade will be open for general admission on Fridays and Saturdays from Noon to 5 pm, and Thursdays for group visits.
