A young visitor to Mid America enjoys playing in the museum’s Family Room.
Mid-America Science Museum recently announced the grand opening of “The Family Room,” an interactive exhibit for visitors of all ages, running from March 1 through 31.
Located in the museum’s Hall of Wonder, “The Family Room” will offer construction activities like Keva Blocks and a Lego Station. There will be areas dedicated to family-friendly games such as Baggo and a giant Connect Four. The exhibit also features wind tunnels and a space for crafting and flying paper airplanes. The limited-time exhibit is free for museum members and included with general admission.
“We are thrilled to introduce ‘The Family Room’ to our visitors,” said Diane LaFollette, Mid-America Science Museum’s CEO. “This is a space where families can come together, explore, and create lasting memories. The exhibit invites guests to embrace their inner child, throw a paper airplane, build a fort, and challenge each other to a Baggo tournament. It embodies the essence of playfulness and fosters a sense of joy and wonder for guests of all ages.”
Named the 2023 winner of “Best Museum” in the Sentinel-Record’s Reader’s Choice Awards, Mid-America Science Museum is located at 500 Mid America Blvd. in Hot Springs. With over 100 interactive exhibits throughout its 73,500-square-foot museum and the surrounding 21 wooded acres, Mid-America has provided hands-on scientific activities for guests of all ages since opening in 1979.
