Ladies and gentlemen! Step right up and discover the secrets of science under the big top as Discovery Place introduces the Museum’s newest exhibition, Circus!, opening Saturday, Dec. 13.
Featuring more than 20 multi-station, interactive exhibits that amaze, thrill, perplex and entertain, Circus! offers visitors a behind-the-big-top view of the science needed to make circus magic come to life.
Spectators become performers at Circus! Walk the line on The High Wire; take aim with the Human Cannonball; and strap on the Elastic Acrobatics harness and spring up into the air. Younger performers can take to the center ring in the Creative Costume and Play Area, where they can role-play and try on costumes. All entertainers-in-training can learn to juggle, spin plates and clown around in Clown Alley. Guests also can learn about circus communication styles in Animal Communication and Circus Lingo. Visitors venturing into Sideshow, can see a Ballyhoo Silhouette, measure brute force in Feats of Strength, learn about the anatomy of a Sword Swallower and even witness a Flea Circus.
Circus! is free with Museum admission.
