Discover the marvels of the universe and the bonds that connect us through scientific concepts, hands-on exploration, and endless play.
Introduction: Where Did it All Begin?
The introductory area grounds visitors in the idea that we, in the present day, are connected to the universe and its evolution, going back to the Big Bang.
Atoms Form and Stars Form: The Formative Years

Galaxies Form: The Milky Way Galaxy
The galaxies section focuses on how gravity pulls together groups of stars that eventually form galaxies of different shapes and sizes.
