High Voltage Live: Power on Stage reveals the hidden energy of magnets, what electrons hate, and the irresistible spectacle of lightning! Are you brave enough to volunteer for a hair-raising electrifying demonstration on stage? This 20-minute experience ends with a shocking finale of our Million-Volt Tesla Coil!
Note: Due to high voltage, visitors with electronics in their bodies (pacemakers, insulin pumps, hearing aids) are welcome to attend but asked to please refrain from volunteering.
Dino Tales: Stories From Fossils takes you back in time to explore the world of dinosaurs. Through real specimens and detailed model casts from our collection. This 20-minute discovery shows you how evidence from the past uncovers stories of the incredible creatures that ruled the land millions of years ago.
Live Bug Feeding takes you to exploreLAB, home to over a dozen different insects and arachnids that need to be cared for daily. Curious to know our routine? Join us for a behind-the-scenes look at how we (with your assistance) care for our multi-legged friends and hear how we make sure they are flourishing in their museum digs.
