Fodor's Expert Review Thinkery

In 2013, the former Austin Children's Museum moved into a new state-of-the-art building and evolved into Thinkery, where kids (and kids at heart) can find fun exhibits brimming with opportunities to learn something new. Light Lab lets you play architect and build light structures; the Let's Grow exhibit aims to get kids moving and teach them the benefits of eating locally grown foods; and an Innovators' Workshop puts inquiring minds to work on creative problem-solving. All the exhibits blend education and recreation with ease; to utilize physical energy, there's a superb climbing and water play-area out in the backyard.
