The Buzz -- Through artifacts and interactive experiences relating to the work of well-known explorers, National Geographic MAPS: Tools for Adventure provides families an exciting opportunity to immerse themselves in the thrilling world of maps! Visitors will search the ocean floor for treasure, design a map of the stars and create maps for their own voyages across land, sea and air. They can use robots to explore hidden shafts and layers of pyramids, step into a Congo trek tent and try their hand at tracking elephants, trace Amelia Earhart’s flight paths across the world and use topographical maps to navigate a Mars rover via computer. This is a traveling exhibition from the Children’s Museum of Indianapolis.
