- Dino Digs
Become a paleontologist and uncover the extinct by examining the world of fossilized dinosaurs. This exhibit allows visitors to examine fossilized dino eggs, uncover fossils in the dig pit, discover dinosaurs of the ancient oceans, and dig deeper with the only publicly accessible Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) in the area. - Dr. Dare’s Lab
Description: Play scientist for a day and accomplish hands-on experiments with the guidance of a trained instructor. See the unseen by magnifying everyday objects with the optical microscope and the scanning electron microscope (SEM). - Nature Works
Realize the rich ecosystems of the natural world of Central Florida. Discover the insects, plants and animals of coral reefs, salt marshes, mangrove swamps and other Florida environments while learning how living and non-living things interact with each other and their environment. - Science Park
Explore such concepts as light, sound and waves, electricity and magnetism, nature’s forces and simulation. New interactive exhibits include a giant 56-foot echo tube, pipes of pan, air cannon, and visitor operated giant Tesla coil. The earthquake room is back with a new “build and test” shake table.
There are also new open-ended exhibits that invite visitors to imagine, create, and construct various inventions from paper flying machines to structures from PVC pipe. Science Park will also feature a variety of live shows and demonstrations that complement and enhance the topics in the exhibit. - KidsTown
KidsTown is a spot where children under 48’ tall can explore their world in a town designed just for them. Fun abounds for even the littlest scientist in this pint-sized town. This miniature town introduces science concepts through whole-body experiences, hands-on interactives and opportunities for imaginative role-playing. Water tables, automotive garage, orange juice processing plant and more invite the joyful hands-on creative play that is so important to the cognitive development of young children.- Pick and sort oranges at the Orange Grove Factory
