Experience virtual reality, simulator excitement, mirrors, magic, puzzles, holograms, scientific wonders and
space exploration!
• Test your strength with our Giant Lever and lift a 5,000-lb. vehicle off the ground!
• Tour an original Russian Space Station MIR, the only one in the world that is open to visitors, and see where astronauts worked and lived in outer space.
• NASA’s Mercury Space Capsule gives you a close-up look at the pod in which America's first space explorers blasted off to space and then splashed into the ocean as they landed back on Earth.
• The High Wire SkyCycle takes its riders 12 feet into the air and balances them on a bike trail – the thinnest in the world. (Seasonal, weather permitting)
• The Virtual Sports Center invites everyone to participate in various games and sports through computer generation and an imaginary environment.
• The Bridge of Fire, created by Van de Graaff in the 1940s, teaches you about the static electricity generator. It is a hair-raising experience and is one of the most popular exhibits at the Exploratory.
