World Works

Make a splash in World Works

Just how does the world work? World Works lets kids figure out the answers for themselves. Here, kids can create their own medallions in the paper factory by using recycled materials; explore the powerful force of water as they race boats down chutes; discover working as a team as they load boxes in the warehouse; explore energy as they create massive bubbles using giant wands; or manipulate light to cast colorful shaows of themselves on the wall.

World Works is an action-packed, hands-on environment that encourages investigating, experimenting, problem-solving and observing. Every area of this gallery is specially designed to foster observational skills and spark a passion for learning and exploring in children of all ages.
