This museum makes science fun with interactive, educational exhibits that stretch the imagination. Spend time in a 16-foot heart as you learn about how yours works. Find out how technology has influenced history by stepping back in time on 'Yesterday's Main Street'. Watch action-packed films in the museum's giant-screen Omnimax Theatre or take a ride down a coal mine. And don't leave without picking up some great souvenirs at The Big Idea museum shop. Omnimax requires additional fee. Parking available in underground garage.
