Where science is fun, an Aladdin’s cave filled with illusions, tricks, puzzles, hands on experiences and unbelievable effects to experience and interact with.  Get involved, play, touch everything!  What is it like to pick a person up on your hand? Or see the city from inside a giant camera?   Can you freeze your shadow? How does it feel to walk through the stars?  Or on water?  Spot how hot you are on our heat cam, swap heads and noses, turn yourself into a monkey, have a shocking time in our electric room and watch out as holograms like the giant spider and T Rex leap out at you.   Spy on the city through powerful telescopes and viewcams.   Fantastic hands on fun for the whole family.
