At the hands-on displays through 350 years of US history, children are encouraged to climb around and interact with exhibits that highlight the lives of kids who grew up to become famous doctors, athletes and political figures. Other family programs include cooking classes, games and story hours.

Here, hundreds of interactive exhibits and activities bring science，technology，engineering and math to life. Built for the 1964 World’s Fair, it has displays about light, 3-D printing， outer space and robots, plus the Design Lab. Check out “Connected Worlds”, where visitors’ movements influence a digitally-animated (动画的) environment. Kids can also climb on a rope web and play minigolf.

Rather than being a place to learn math, it’s a place to realize all the remarkable things math can be used to create. In the design studios participants create a 3-D design on a screen, for a chance to have it “printed” into an actual sculpture via a 3-D printer; and at Enigma Cafe, families can sit down at tables to work on digital puzzles.

It celebrates imagination through art，storytelling and education. Kids can explore different exhibits like a collection of art from the 1930s to 1980s from a group of artists who described everyday life in US. The museum hosts a variety of events for kids from story hours to art workshops.
