To fly is divine!

The rocket science exhibit is back for a special 9-month run, and it's in our BRAND NEW exhibit gallery on the 2nd floor!

In 3, 2, 1…Blast Off!, kids will build, launch and test their own hovercrafts, ROCKETS and other flying, floating creations to learn about aerodynamics, physics, technology and engineering.

Exhibit open through July 31, 2012.

Take a tour of our exhibits. (3, 2, 1...Blast Off! is not part of our virtual tour.)
