There's always something at the IDEA LAB
that will challenge your mind and make you think.
Exhibits
Check out hands-on exhibits such as the Flow Tank, the Rope Puzzles, and the mysterious Floating Magnets.
Activity Station
Open daily from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. At our activity station, facilitators are on hand to guide you through an array of ever-changing activities that challenge the mind and baffle the senses. They'll show you the activity and then present further challenges for you.
Every day at least three different hands-on activities are highlighted with at least a half dozen more available on request.
Here are some of the many activities at the station:
Explore the world of the very small with our NANO ACTIVITIES — How Small Is That? and Size Wheel (you make it and take it home).
Create your own Hoop glider, or take the dare and make yours work better than ours.
