science museums
Interactive exhibit halls
Science museums are institutions that present scientific concepts, natural phenomena, and technological achievements through exhibits and interactive displays.
Unlike art museums where visitors observe quietly, science museums typically encourage hands-on exploration: The kids spent hours at the science museum pushing buttons and pulling levers.
Many feature planetariums, live demonstrations, or specimens from natural history.
