Exhibits at the Adventure Science Center are designed to be hands-on and interactive. Permanent attractions include Anatomy of an Earthquake, Beekeeping, Physics of light, Soundbox, and many, many more. Kids even get to step inside a jet aircraft simulator, which features 360 degree movements and high speeds. There are several programs offered daily, including early explorers, where toddlers get to enjoy an age-appropriate science-based films at the full-dome planetarium, followed by story time.

In the Innovation Incubator program, kids participate in STEM based projects that encourage imagination and creation. Kid’s camps, field trips, homeschool support, and special events are hosted year round.
