Event Description

Featured Exhibit: Circus!


Step right up and discover the secrets of science under the big top!

Featuring more than 20 multi-station, interactive exhibits that amaze, thrill, perplex and entertain, Circus! offers visitors a behind-the-big-top view of the science needed to make circus magic come to life.

Spectators become performers at Circus! Walk the line on The High Wire; take aim with the Human Cannonball; and strap on the Elastic Acrobatics harness and spring up into the air. Younger performers can take to the center ring in the Creative Costume and Play Area, where they can role-play and try on costumes. All entertainers-in-training can learn to juggle, spin plates and clown around in Clown Alley. Guests also can learn about circus communication styles in Animal Communication and Circus Lingo. Visitors venturing into Sideshow, can see a Ballyhoo Silhouette, measure brute force in Feats of Strength, learn about the anatomy of a Sword Swallower and even witness a Flea Circus.

Circus! is free with Museum admission.

Meet upstairs in the exhibit hall.

Current Exhibit:
Kapla, Builds Joy of Creating and Learning


The Kapla exhibit immerses kids into a creative world of building and fun. Kapla is a unique wooden building block made of pine from renewable French forests. Each block is a colorful, small, rectangular plank measuring 1x4.5x.75”. Kapla allows kids to build outside the box, enhancing vision and skill – engaging hands-on experience, concentration and understanding.

Young builders, engineers, artists and architects are introduced to the world of art and design, science and expression, mathematics and history - the joy of creating and learning built into one.

The possibilities are endless: monuments, palaces, villages, bridges and futuristic towers.

"Interesting. I do find info about Arnica as a poison ivy relief alternative. I hadn't heard of that. Homeopathic Apis helps for swelling, hives also. Pat"

Poison Ivy

Does anyone have suggestions for relieving poison ivy itch?  I'm new to holistic treatments, and hubby has a small case of what he thinks is poison ivy or oak on face and hands.
