Description
This is the must-go place for the child (and adult) who loves science and technology. At this center, you can get inside a bubble, send your voice into space or learn if you have what it takes to be an astronaut! Subject yourself to optical illusions in the Ames Room and find out just how funny you look in the mirrors in the foyer. The Discovery Centre Shop has books about dinosaurs, model building kits, microscopes and a myriad of other educational toys for the budding scientist.
