Review:
The Powerhouse Science Center is the perfect place for families to spend a day when visiting Durango, Colorado. The interactive science center is located in a former coal-fired, steam-generated AC power plant which is exciting to explore all on its own.
There are a number of entertaining exhibits, programs, and activities for visitors to participate in.
The center provides a fun and inspiring way for people to learn the way energy has changed over the years.
An exhibit that shouldn't be missed is the "eTree" exhibit which is a life-sized tree with solar panel style leaves that connect to a 20-inch 3-D globe.
