What to expect

Learn about the power of air and light in Airways! Children can test the power of wind, generate energy, create a shadow and even take a virtual hot air balloon ride.

Tips

• The Airways exhibit area leads into the Waterways exhibit. These spaces can be very loud and filled with excitement.
• At times, you can hear the hand blower from the Waterways exhibit area.
• The virtual hot air balloon is fun, but you might have to wait your turn to get a chance to ride it.
