Indoor and outdoor permanent exhibits include dozens of opportunities for interaction and discovery. "Weather," "Light and Color," "Brain Teasers," "Sound and Resonance," and "Energy and Electricity" are some of the permanent exhibits here. Weigh in on the solar system scales and tell time on the human sundial. Follow the dinosaur tracks, play sea turtle hopscotch and pan for shark teeth on the outdoor, interactive science trail.

Families will also delight in visiting the four shark pups on display at the expanded McGinty Aquarium. Added technology includes a Little Tikes computer with fat buttons, fun music and hundreds of programs designed especially for toddlers, and TriScience, the ultimate museum resource, where visitors can access museums throughout the country to learn about displays and exhibits. While you're at the museum, visit the Aldrin Planetarium or play Galaxy Golf, both for an additional fee. (January 26, 2005)
