Every astronaut and every scientist starts out small

Because we want visitors of every age to find something to love at the Adler, we're creating a new "gateway" experience for children as young as three years old. Located in the upper level of the Adler's Sky Pavilion, the new children's exhibition will offer toddlers and preschoolers (along with their parents and caregivers) a wide range of activities that combine learning and fun. A two-story rocket ship and space-walk will invite young visitors to climb and play intergalactic "let's pretend". Hands-on programming, led by specially trained docents, will help youngsters make simple but transformative connections about science and exploration.

We are deeply grateful to The Boeing Company for their generous support of The Boeing Exploration Center, a new space that will host the children's exhibition and programming.
