The Pacific Science Center is a great place for the entire family to learn about the natural world in an entertaining way; while the venue plans a renewal/reopening, it hosts a hockey exhibit beginning November 1.
The world premiere of "HOCKEY: Faster Than Ever," a highly interactive touring exhibition focused on the science, history and culture of hockey, coincides with the inaugural season of the Seattle Kraken. When the museums is fully open, children love games and demonstrations about physical science; exhibits displaying dinosaurs, insects, computers and robots and the human body bring science and natural history to life right before your eyes. Animal exhibits, which tend to be everyone's favorite, let visitors watch animals such as the naked mole rat, which is the only known cold-blooded mammal. In the butterfly house, museum-goers are surrounded by thousands of butterflies, which often land on those wearing bright colors who stand very still.
