The temporary exhibit when we were visiting was video games and my daughter Aurora loved it.

There is a section of the museum with in-house artists that are sometimes working in front of you.

The hurricane wind simulator was cool. It similuates hurricane force winds while you stand inside.

There are lots of hands on exhibits where kids can use thier critical thinking skills. This project was making a paper plane and then watching how far it flew up in the wind tunnel.
