Permanent Exhibitions
TotSpot
This colourful area is designed for our youngest visitors to explore their creativity! The gallery is designed especially for children up to 4 years of age. The TotSpot introduces babies and toddlers to early learning principles through visual and tactile stimuli.
Shadow Play
The large white screen on the main floor is the Shadow Play. Turn the coloured lights located behind the screen on and off to create multi-coloured shadows. Dance, pose or wiggle and watch your shadow move with you. How many shadows are there when all of the lights are on?
Geo-Terraces
These are in the centre of the Grand Atrium and unlike school and home you don't have to clean up your toys!
Fish Tanks
Meet our fishy friends! In these 125 gallon tanks full of life, you'll find a variety of African Cichlids and Rainbow Fish!
The Living Wall
The Living Wall greets guests after they walk through our adult or child sized front doors. The many plants that make up the garden use the sun's energy to grow as it cleans THEMUSEUM's air and helps cool the building in the summer!
The Urban Streetscape Project
A collaborative effort to showcase iconic features of our Region in a fun and interactive way! Create your own sound at The Beat Goes On and interact with images on the floor and wall!
Construction Alley
Create a sculpture, maze, or a fort using the multi-coloured flags.
Thoughts Flow Water Table
Alter the speed, direction, or height of the water as you create patterns and pathways with the panels! How many different ways can you direct the water? Can you have a boat race?
Pin Walls
Push your hand, chest, or back into the Pin Wall then see the impression you've left.
Magnetic Wall
Create words, shapes and connect the gears!
Me and My Shadow
Stand against the wall, press the button for a flash of light, and see what you create on the phosphorescent wall!
The Bed of Nails
Lie down on the Bed of Nails, the nails are sharp but why doesn’t it hurt?
The Metamorph
Type a message, choose a station and watch as the Metamorph travels across the Atrium to that station and says your message out loud! Try the sound buttons and make some weird and fun noises!
The Electricity House
Complete the maze to turn off all the lights!
Plasma Ball
Touch the ball with your hands and watch as the electricity tries to escape the ball through your hands!
Light Table
Check out the x-rays or experiment with our light filters to control the path of light!
Mission: Outer Space… A COM DEV Adventure
Learn all about space and space travel!
zero footprint
This interactive exhibit is a web based calculator where children can answer questions and learn about their own ecological footprint. Can yours be lowered by walking to the store or school, using reusable lunch boxes or turning off unused televisions, computers and lights? You bet it can! Come see how many tonnes there are in your footprint then see if you can reduce it before your next visit.
IBM TryScience Kiosk
Play some fun games at the push of a button!
