I Explore
In I Explore, children ages 2 to 5 (with their grown-ups) learn about themselves and their world in a safe, stimulating and engaging interactive environment designed especially for them.
Exhibition Highlights
Rock out on the Rock Xylophone made from five large hanging stone slabs. Use the rubber mallets to create intriguing sounds.
Launch the balls! At this two-story Ball Machine, use an air cannon to start your ball on a journey through a maze. As it drops, turn cranks along the way to change its path. All done? Try it again!
Make it go! Put together a car and try it out on the Test Track. Race your friends!
Reach the top! Clamber up different levels of the Climbing Challenge and go higher and higher above the gallery floor. What’s it like up there?
Scientists document their observations and you can, too. Think about something you learned today and make a drawing about it. Then upload a digital image of yourself with your work. Only you and your family can access it from home.
Block Party
Using over 1,600 oversized blocks, cubes, cogs, curves, cylinders, and even arches, kids can create whimsical buildings, ocean-going vessels, space-bound rocket ships, futuristic cities, and fabulous forts in this engineering fun fest. Builders under 5 have their own area with hundreds of blocks and no big kids!Just for kids 5 and under, these classic wooden shapes include over 600 blocks in 25 varieties such as arches, columns, spans, pillars, triangles, and rectangles, plus people figures and mini vehicles. Children may not know it, but while they are having a ton of fun they’ll be exploring mathematical concepts including spatial relationships, balance and stability, and cause and effect.
