Use your cell phone to transform an entire silo into a dazzling light show! Several thousand lights illuminate when you use a mobile phone in the vicinity of the exhibit.

Every single mobile phone transmits radio waves to connect to a cellular network, and every day millions of people around the world broadcast their conversations across these invisible waves. Tiny sensors in this exhibit detect and convert the invisible electromagnetic waves from a cell phone into another frequency, the range of visible light. Thousands of sensors incorporated in the display are tuned to detect the phone’s electromagnetic radiation.

Movement of underground water through big caves and tiny cracks and crevices in rocks is the often invisible part of the water cycle. In this exhibit, while in a 40-foot-tall silo, you will be immersed in an aquifer and experience the great cycle of water – from the air to the ground, deep into the earth and back into the sky.

Enjoy the peace and serenity within this silo created by Wimberley artist, McKay Otto. It serves as a multidimensional space for meditation, reflection and self discovery. Tapping into elements of Eastern religion, the seven chakras of the body are represented in paintings with corresponding Tibetan singing bowls. Explore the ways in which Otto experiments with light and sound vibrations to create a complex and beautiful exhibit that fills the entire 40-foot silo. Learn more here.

Step inside and surround yourself with a maze of ball chutes and loop de loops. As you try each pulley, pedal and wheel explore how gravity, velocity and acceleration all affect the ball's trajectory. Navigate a giant labyrinth, create musical stylings in the sound garden, flip and teeter your ball on the kinetic seesaw and so much more!

Come meet our Zebrafish team! They’ll greet visitors entering the BioLab from their special tank system. These Zebrafish help scientists understand developments, genetics, and human health through experimentation as the tank system allows the fish to be bred. Come see for yourself--are they spawning or seeking food? You can also check out their brain activity that is displayed above in a video using microscopy and genetic technology!

Art, engineering, and environmental science all combine forces to create the unique Atomic Jellyfish sculpture! The exhibit was created by Kerrville artist John Self using a wide variety of reclaimed materials. This jellyfish displays the hidden beauty that is revealed when bringing unlikely parts together and provides an innovative use for items previously considered useless.

Visitors will adventure into another world in our state-of-the-art 3D theater, whether it be ten times smaller, in the depths of the ocean, or sometimes not even on this planet! Each 20-minute film shown will only be featured for a limited time. 

Local high school student, Dalton S., takes K'NEX construction to a whole new level with his amazing and complex K'NEX sculpture! Located in the main lobby, the sculpture will mesmerize you right when you walk inside. The constant motion of the ferris wheel and tiny ball traveling through the structure is enrapturing--come see for yourself!
