Experience science in all its hands-on splendor!  The Universe of Science is an interactive science exhibit comprised of individual science stations.  Learn about sound, gravity, magnetism and more in this exhibit on display through May 30. 

If you’re a family, be on the look out for the "Family" and "Pre-K" symbols. Examples of appropriate Pre-K programming include the planetarium program One World, One Sky and the KidSpace exhibit near the lobby. If you have teenagers, however, you may want to take in a show like Black Holes or perhaps even a Cosmic Concert!
