Back Home Furniture

One spark of inspiration is all you need for your next big idea at the Thinkery, where each exhibit is hands-on, play-based learning, with activities and content appropriate for visitors of all ages. Create colorful works of art, take apart toys or build and launch gliders at the Spark Shop. See, feel and hear the connections between water and sound at the Currents exhibit. Find out how color, light, and shadows impact the environment at the Light Lab. Participate in sensory exploration, chemical reactions, and edible minerals in the Kitchen Lab. Imagine buying and selling delicious fruits and vegetables or collecting eggs from a pretend chicken coop in Fresh! Farmers’ Market. Step outside to the Backyard and scale the heights of a universally-accessible, custom-designed climber, or rest under the branches of a native elm tree.

The Millennium Youth Entertainment Complex hosts thousands of patrons in community activities, fellowship, and commercial events. The venue routinely serves as a mega-voting site for civic engagement, a resource distribution hub during a weather crisis, and a meeting location for neighborhood planning and town halls. They also offer 16 bowling lanes, roller skating, a professional-grade basketball court, a video arcade, a movie theater, and a food court.
