## About

Igniting curiosity across four expansive floors of interactive exhibits, the Orlando Science Center in Loch Haven Park is Central Florida's premier hands-on STEM destination for families. The star highlight for young families is KidsTown, an 11,000-square-foot dedicated gallery for children ages 0 to 7. KidsTown features Toddler Town for crawlers, an orange-packing grove with vacuum chutes, water play tables with dams and fountains, a climbable banyan treehouse, and an interactive craft studio.

Older kids love DinoDigs, where young paleontologists uncover giant prehistoric dinosaur fossil replicas in dig pits, while Kinetic Zone explores physics, air propulsion, and pulleys. The Hive: A Makerspace invites families to collaborate on real tinkering projects using 3D printers, woodworking tools, and circuitry. With giant-screen CineDome films, live science shows, nursing rooms, stroller-accessible elevators, and an on-site cafe, it is an engaging, weatherproof family day.
