In addition to also sorts of great exhibits about sound, light, air, how bridges work, etc., it also houses the NASA Glenn Research Visitor Center, there so was also all sorts of great stuff about outer space.
The special exhibit was called "Goosebumps: The Science of Fear." Enough said as far as I'm concerned. I took part in none of the exhibits...watching others was enough for me. But Graham and Addy did take part in some of the fear challenges they had set up. First was the fear of falling. Graham was brave enough to get strapped in and go for a fall.
We had to admit that none of us were real crazy about experimenting with the fear of electric shock.
Then there was the fear of loud noises. Addy was willing to stand in the booth with Daddy and cover her ears, but she and I both stood happily outside while Daddy pushed a button and waited for the gunshot-type noise. We all enjoyed seeing a playback of his fear face on that one!
And lastly, the fear of wild animals...tanks with tarantulas, cockroaches and then black boxes asking you to stick your hand in and see if any creepy crawly things had come out to visit you. My favorite was the last tank, which was a mysterious sign from the "maintenance" staff :)
But our favorite part of the museum was the kids' polymer room. With a playground, ball pit and loads of other fun kid exhibits, this place was a hit!
Addy using the air-pressurized tube to hoist the balls into the tank hanging above the ball pit.
Cora helping, too.
Release!
