Science in Toyland

Science in Toyland is a highly interactive exhibit that uses a child's every day playthings to demonstrate scientific principles and reasoning.


Toyland is available in a 3,000 square-foot configuration. Exhibition displays include:

  • Kids Construction Co., a partially assembled wood and foam house that young children may play "construction worker" and learn about shapes and pattern recognition.
  • Tournament of Tops, which gives children a chance to test spinning lengths of different sized tops. This fun-filled component teaches kids about inertia and angular momentum.
  • Domino Challenge, where children experiment with chain reactions by setting up dominoes.
  • Roller Coaster, which lets kids experiment with acceleration and momentum by adjusting the incline of a racetrack.
  • Catch the Wind, a sailing exhibit that illustrates the Bernoulli principle.
