| Welcome to
Spaceship Discovery, where learning happens at the speed of
light!
This unique museum provides students of all
ages with a hands-on/minds-on series of interactive exhibits
designed to inform, motivate and allow them to learn about
our universe.
Permanent museum galleries feature interactive hands-on and
minds-on exhibits for children of all ages. The emphasis is
on Science: PAST, PRESENT, and FUTURE. Inside the main exhibit
area there is the bridge of a starship, with a captain's chair,
as well as Science Officer Stations. Spaceship doors open
to reveal the interior of the ship where robots R2D2 and his
girlfriend R2She2 greet our guests. As visitors navigate through
the museum they will encounter interactive hands-on displays
arranged in galleries.
Later visitors will see a flying saucer, the terminator, ROBOTEACHER
computerized teacher of the future, plasma High definition
televisions, a High Technology area, and more. The Hyde Park
Mastodon (recently featured on the Discovery Channel), dinosaur
models, murals, posters and displays in a prehistoric setting
will soon be featured in our prehistoric area.
