Roll on up to the 2nd floor to explore physics, gravity, motion, and slopes in our new marble-run-inspired traveling exhibit. Play along with a mystery ball maze, Duplo marble run, magnet wall, and more.

Try. Toggle. Test.

On the Tinker Wall you can flip switches, ding bells, and see what happens! Cultivate your curiosity by testing a variety of building materials: 16 switches, 15 light fixtures, flooring, sandpaper, and too much fun. Did we mention there is a party light?

This wall is basically a toddler paradise (though we notice older children and grown-ups love it, too!).

Nanometer-sized things are very small and often behave differently than larger things do. Explore the basics of nanoscience and engineering in a hands-on way!

• Learn about static vs. gravity
• Build a giant carbon nanotube
• Balance our nano future
• And more!

Listen to other people share about where they live and where they have traveled and then share your story.

At Tell Us Your Story, you can listen to videos of other guests sharing where they are from and what makes it special. But you can also leave your mark on the exhibit and share your story as well.
