FREE Lunch

Lunch is free to all Science Quest attendees. It is scheduled for 12:00-1:00pm at the Worcester Dining Commons (WDC), very close the ISB (see Science Quest Map). At the entrance of the WDC, mention that you are a Science Quest participant and the attendant on duty will swipe a card and let you in. Our award-winning dining facilities have a huge selection that includes gluten-free and vegetarian options. An updated menu can be found at this link.
