this was probably the largest science center we visited. the exhibits were spaciously laid out and there were many unique experiences to try out that we'd not seen anywhere else. 
the kids rode in a mercury capsule.
they climbed in a huge tree house. 
we tried out riding segways. we got to work together with 4 crane arms independently operated to achieve a goal of picking up a "load" (block) and dropping it off at a designated location - very difficult and very "team" building. we saw a fantastic planetarium show - it was about the star of bethlehem, but went through a scientific process of eliminating other things (comets, meteors, planets, etc) that could have been the explanation of the "star". in the end, they could not scientifically explain (away) what the star of bethlehem was. 
the gymnastics hall of fame had video of gymnasts and equipment to try out what you see. 
following our science center visit, 
we drove to amarillo for a highlight of our trip - visiting with our friends, the shores family! we got into town in time to be hosted by their parents for a birthday dinner of prime rib. it was fun to spend time with friends and have yummy food!
