Great Explorations

Fodor's Review:

"Don't touch" are words never spoken at Great Explorations. The museum is hands-on through and through, with a Robot Lab, Climb Wall, Lie Detector, Fire House, Vet's Office, and other interactive play areas, including the new Tree 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
