17 Interactive Science Exhibits

Fly a plane, ride a hovercraft, race your friend on a recumbent bicycle, or learn to fly an airship! YOU are the driver in Going Places’ interactive exhibits!

Drone Launch

Jump in the pilot’s seat to fly a drone with full controls at your fingertips. Test your knowledge of balance, propulsion and velocity and watch your flying skills take off!
