Lunar Life: Destination Mars takes guests on a tour through a habitat on the moon.

Grow food, mine materials, and explore slingshot travel in space in this one-of-a-kind exhibit.

Stop in Command Central, receive your mission, and start exploring!

Lunar Life was designed in partnership with South Dakota State University. Learn more about the creation process on our Seize the Play blog. 

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!).

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.
