Fodor's Review:

You can't miss this angular purple building that seems to rise from the creek across from the convention center. Exhibits here explore the world of how things work, from why water gushes to why springs go boing. Everything is hands-on, so kids can blow gigantic bubbles, dress up in old-time clothes, or climb on the oversize animal sculptures outside while tired parents picnic on the lawn.

  • Cost: $8
  • Open: Tues.-Sat. 10-5, Sun. noon-5
