About this adventure

A lakefront science and technology museum split into a Tech Side and an Aqua Side. The Aqua Side has the aquarium with a Lake Michigan tank, a Caribbean tank and a touch tank; the Tech Side has hands-on areas such as Les Paul's House of Sound, Simple Machines, Physics & You, Power On, the Design It Lab and Doodle Studio, a road-course racing simulator, and Junior Scientist for younger visitors. Children must be with a chaperone 16 or older. Online tickets guarantee entry and are discounted; walk-up tickets depend on capacity, and dynamic pricing applies on busy days. Families on Wisconsin assistance programs (WIC, FoodShare, BadgerCare and others) can buy $7 access admission in person.
