Great Explorations

Fodor's Review:

At Great Explorations you'll never hear "Don't touch." The museum is hands-on through and through, with a Robot Lab, Climb Wall, Lie Detector, and other interactive play areas, including the new Fire House. Smart exhibits like the Tennis Ball Launcher, which uses compressed air to propel a ball through a series of tubes, and Sounds Waves, where Styrofoam pellets in a clear tube show differences in sound frequencies, employ low-tech to teach kids (and parents) high-tech principles.

  • Cost: $9
  • Open: Mon.-Sat. 10-4:30, Sun. noon-4:30
