Experience something brand new this summer!

• Tales of the Maya Skies is a brand new full-dome show that debunks the myth behind the 2012 Doomsday predictions by uncovering the science behind the ancient Maya civilization. Using full-dome digital technology, the show reveals the art, mythology and astronomy behind the Maya culture and provides a glimpse into how the people were able to make sophisticated and accurate predictions about the natural world.  Plays daily in the Margaret Zeidler Star Theatre at 12:00 p.m., 2:00 p.m., 4:00 p.m. & 6:00 p.m.
  
  
• Participants in our new Inventor’s Workshop put on their thinking caps and drop in to tackle a new mystery challenge each day. Our Interpreters assist visitors of all ages to engineer inventions such as parachutes, skyscrapers, catapults and air gliders. Visitors can also let their imaginations go and create something that they can take home with them. Inventor’s Workshop runs daily between 12:30 - 4:30 p.m.
  
  
• Our Science Demonstrations bring science to life for our visitors as our interpreters perform amazing feats for audiences such as create clouds, raise hair with electricity, demonstrate kitchen chemistry and make soda pop and ice cream from scratch.
