The museum spans over 44,000 square feet of hands-on interactive exhibits, centered around the iconic 75-foot Adventure Tower where kids can climb through kinetic exhibits, test earthquake simulators, and crawl through an enormous anatomical human heart. Inside the state-of-the-art Sudekum Planetarium, a 63-foot digital dome presents breathtaking winter sky shows, constellation journeys, and family astronomy films that transport young audiences across the solar system. Kids also flock to the SoundBox gallery, an innovative STEAM exhibit celebrating Nashville's musical heritage where children explore the physics of acoustics, soundwaves, musical instruments, and interactive digital beat-making stations. It is an inspiring winter educational adventure for curious growing minds.
