Get ready to design, build, and race in our newest interactive exhibit!

This hands-on experience invites children and families to explore physics through play. Whether you’re launching a car, rolling a ball, or connecting a train, every activity is an opportunity to invent, learn, and have fun.

Build and Race Custom Car Tracks

  • Create your own high-speed car track using ramps, loops, and powerful boosters! Experiment with different designs to see how speed, height, and gravity affect your car’s journey. Will your car soar off a ramp or zip cleanly through a loop? It’s up to you to find the fastest path!

Explore Magnetic Ball Runs

  • Design gravity-powered ball tracks on our giant magnetic wall! Use ramps, curves, and half-pipes to guide your ball from top to bottom — or back again. Rearrange pieces, try new setups, and see how small changes can make a big difference in how your track performs.

Tinker with Trains and Track Systems

  • Snap together classic train tracks in creative layouts and experiment with movement, turns, and hills. It’s a great way for visitors to explore cause and effect or take on the challenge of more complex builds.
  Track Makers is all about creativity, experimentation, and teamwork. Whether you’re working side-by-side with family or teaming up with new friends, you’ll discover the excitement of problem-solving and engineering in action. There’s no wrong way to build—only new ideas to try!
