Even those with a casual interest in science and technology should consider visiting The National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation. Permanent exhibitions include everything from a life-size reconstruction of a portion of the International Space Station to a simplified model that explains how the internet works. Most installations and areas are interactive and have support systems in various languages.
Special exhibitions surrounding specific technology-related themes are also hosted here. Best check before visiting to see if they suit your interests and are worth the extra pair of tickets.
