Museum of Science
Do you have a passion for astronomy? A keen interest in DNA or dinosaurs, a taxidermy fetish, a Carl Sagan fan club membership or a couple of kids who need some energy burned off? No matter what your age or interest, the Museum of Science is a fun and exciting place to visit. Interactive exhibits such as, Mapping the World, Computing Revolution, and Dinosaurs: Modeling the Mesozoic are all hands-on—touching things is strongly encouraged and how often can you say that these days? At the Discovery Center, you can put an animal skeleton together, pat a black bear, and send a message to a friend on the other side of the exhibit. The museum runs special exhibits (currently Body Worlds), daily workshops and lectures too; check out their website for daily schedules. It’s also home to the Omni Theater, where you can sit in a complete state of vertigo while watching a film on a five-story IMAX Dome screen. Note to stoners: the museum houses the Charles Hayden Planetarium, where you can experience rock & roll laser shows like Laser Led Zeppelin, Laser Rock 70’s, and Laser Pink Floyd: The Wall.
