Play Power

A major new exhibit celebrating the power of children’s play


Experiment, explore, invent, imagine and PLAY! Play Power, a vibrant new learning environment, engages kids and grown-ups in imaginative activities that vividly illustrate the importance of open-ended play as they:

  • Investigate cause and effect with sound, motion, magnets, air and light
  • Construct contraptions that send balls rolling down ramps and through mazes
  • Create original musical compositions
  • Propel objects through air tubes
  • Transform an intriguing domed play space with interlocking geometric blocks and tubes
  • And much more!
