Scale a larger-than-life beehive, “rock” out on the stone xylophone, follow the many colors of a kaleidoscope, and more – all in our outdoor Exploration Portal!

Run, jump, climb, and use your outdoor voice across Exploration Portal’s 4,000 sq. ft. of STEM-focused educational space.

Eight interactive exhibits encourage children to discover the fascinating patterns and symmetry found in nature. From spots on a ladybug to the architecture of beehives, kids learn about sequence and proportion through the myriad patterns in the world around us.
