Exhibits
07/06/2009—07/06/2010 | PowerBall Hall
NOW OPEN!
PowerBall Hall is a fast-paced, gravity-defying ball exhibit that runs on KID-POWER. Featuring an interactive ball wall and hundreds of colorful balls, children learn about basic principles of science as they determine which pulleys, gears, flippers, blowers and launchers will project the balls through a maze of clear tubing to a centralized, elevated ball drop. When the ball drop is full, an alarm sounds, the shoot opens and the balls come showering down into the exhibit!
