This family's experience:

Activities: We spent 4 hours exploring the various exhibits and interactive learning, including a water play area, life-size puzzles, a lab room with puzzles and activities, a computer lab, a live presentation on chemical reactions, and exhibits on dinosaurs, history, and earth sciences

Highlights: The kids were in love with the physics area, where they built boats with sails, airplanes to fly up a wind tunnel, and a lifesize wagon to pull. We loved watching their creativity and learning from their failures ✨
