   EDITOR REVIEW:

HYDE PARK.   Interactive museums are multiplying like rabbits, but this complex is considered one of the first and best. You'll find more than 2000 hands-on exhibits, including the Zephyr (a famous train that once set a land-speed record) and the Idea Factory (whose interactive exhibits have kids of all ages learning without realizing it). Take a short tour of an authentically recreated coal mine, or pretend you're the boss in the Enterprise exhibit, which teaches about the world of business. The five-story Omnimax Theater presents shows that take visitors on a virtual voyage to outer space or under the sea.
