This center is being celebrated for its ground-breaking innovation in teaching the youth. The museum has created more of a discovery and interactive centers that is fun for children, both the young and old. Their commitment to education & fun is a fundamental aspect of the science, technology and humanities displays.
Children can explore all their favorites including fossils, rocks, electricity, photography and exploration of the human body. The center also takes the fear out of important aspects of life, such as the Emergency Room, and a dental office, understanding tornadoes, and fire safety & truck rides with the local fire department. New programs will explore the art of recycling, making a meal, how to make a million dollars, what is needed to build a house, and how to make a meal.
