Head into the darkness of a coal mine, explore the science of transportation, learn about forces of nature with tornados and avalanches in one of the world’s largest science museums. With 14 acres, there’s even room for the U-505, a German submarine. It’s easy to spend hours in just one exhibit, such as the Toymaker 3000 with interactive robots kids can command to draw, dance, build toys or create a mini-museum. Check the daily schedule for hands-on lab experiences and demonstrations that may end with a bang.
