MOXI, The Wolf Museum of Exploration + Innovation

Words like "ignite," "curiosity" and "spark" fly around MOXI, The Wolf Museum of Exploration + Innovation where exploration is not only possible but encouraged. There's a walk-through giant guitar (to see how its sound works), a workshop for building a model race car that's adjacent to a track to test it out and a choose-your-own adventure water feature on the roof. Linking science with innovation and hands-on experiences is the core mission of this science museum, that's equal parts entertaining for adults and children.

Admission costs $14 for adults, $10 for children 3 to 12 years old and younger kids get in free.
