King was impressed by the huge k'nex ferris wheel in the gift shop and we spent about 20 minutes walking around the gift shop and talking about the ferris wheel.
We spent some time looking at and talking about the Hoberman Sphere in the lobby area. King was so interested in how it works we watched it for about 15 minutes.
We walked upstairs and went into the Iexplore area where we spent the rest of our visit.
This is what the LSC website says about this area:
Exhibition Highlights
Rock out on the Rock Xylophone made from five large hanging stone slabs. Use the rubber mallets to create intriguing sounds.
Launch the balls! At this two-story Ball Machine, use an air cannon to start your ball on a journey through a maze. As it drops, turn cranks along the way to change its path. All done? Try it again!
Make it go! Put together a car and try it out on the Test Track. Race your friends!
Reach the top! Clamber up different levels of the Climbing Challenge and go higher and higher above the gallery floor. What’s it like up there?
Scientists document their observations and you can, too. Think about something you learned today and make a drawing about it. Then upload a digital image of yourself with your work. Only you and your family can access it from home.
King had a blast and I had to literally drag him out of there.
