Explorations is an interactive, curiosity-inspiring science exhibit funded through a grant from the East Hill Foundation. The exhibit is a permanent installation to the museum and is available to visitors year-round during museum hours.

Designed for early childhood development and science learning, Explorations features interactive stations with play themes focusing on a variety of science-based concepts, including energy, space, weather, light, and the environment, and encourages adult-child interaction as well as independent discovery.

The museum’s former Explorations space was located on the third floor of the museum and offered play areas that encouraged creativity, but did not focus on specific science topics. The new Explorations location is on the first floor of the museum, allowing for easier access by families with younger children and strollers.

Entrance to Explorations is included with museum admission and free for Museum Members.
