There was plenty to do in the science center of Boonshoft Discovery Museum. Our favorite was the water table. Water flowed through a winding channel into a lake created by a miniature canal lock. There were plenty of floating and non-floating items to experiment with. In addition, a user-operated pump put all the waterwheels into spinning motion with a cascade of water. Below is a picture of the wheels from above.

The science lab had lots of other curiosities too. The Bernoulli Blower held a ball suspended in mid-air above a blowing stream of air. Gravitron explored gravity by dropping a ball through a series of connectible tubes. The Color Wall was also intriguing. Color projected against a wall created amazing shapes out of the figures of whoever stood in front of it!

This is a very cool museum! Was it expensive?
Admission wasn't that bad, considering what you got to see with it! I think it was around $10 a person. You can also buy a membership and have free access all year.
