Watts Up with Energy: Powering the Planet with Unconventional Sources
February 6 – September 14

100 years ago, the first electric light swept the world off its feet, jump-starting humanity into a new age of electricity. Today, we are looking for energy solutions to launch our world into an era of sustainable growth.

This exhibit explores where we have been to see where we’re going. From discovering several unusual — but promising — energy inventions, to diving deep into the future of nuclear fusion, join us on a quest to harness the energy of the stars.

Coming Soon: Mindbender Mansion
May 17 - September 7
Enter the wonderfully puzzling world of Mindbender Mansion, a quirky place full of puzzles, brainteasers, and interactive challenges guaranteed to test the brain power and problem solving skills of even the most experienced puzzlers.

Guests to this fun and quirky mansion are invited to join the Mindbender Society by gathering hidden clues and secret passwords scattered throughout the various thematic rooms of the house. The clues and passwords are revealed by solving select brainteasers and group challenges.

Visitors are encouraged to think outside the box and collaborate with their fellow mansion guests to meet individual and group challenges, which include manipulating a tilt table, keeping up with trays on a conveyer belt, and disco hopscotch spelling.
