Visit the Terre Haute Children’s Museum of Science and Technology. The Terre Haute Children’s Museum of Science and Technology opened its doors more than twenty years ago, all with the purpose of getting children excited about science. They accomplish their mission by providing a fun and exciting place for kids to learn, with plenty of great exhibits. The museum is a fun place to visit, with more than 15,000 visitors each year.
Because of their success, the museum was able to get funding for a brand new building, which will include a host of wonderful new exhibits. In fact, the building is nearing completion, and people will be able to check out the new museum very soon.
Kids will love all of the different exhibits that they will find at the Terre Haute Children’s Museum of Science and Technology.
At the Dinosaur Dig, they will be able to see what an excavation site looks like and even be able to uncover huge replicas of dinosaur skeletons. It is a great place to learn about paleontology, geology, and anatomy.
In the Secret Tree House, kids will be able to find tunnels, slides, ladders and more. There is even a special observation area and devices used for communication. It promises to be quite fun.
