Ignite your imagination as you celebrate 25 years of science discovery with us! Visitors can enjoy more than 250 interactive exhibits, each with a different focus to bring physics, geology, math, music and more to life. Figure out How Things Work from generating tornadoes to pumping water with an Archimedes screw. Kids four and under can explore water and play in a fire engine in the Preschool Gallery. Stop in and see the full size interactive Huron Valley Ambulance in the All About You gallery. Lights and Optics invites you to strum a stringless harp. Geometry and Recollections pulls you in and makes you the exhibit on an interactive video screen. MediaWorks lets kids see themselves as news anchors in the working CTN television studio. Join in the fun as we put science in your hands!

I have volunteered with the Hands on Museum many times in the past and I love how the museum motivates younger children to become involved with the sciences.
Volunteering at this museum has been a wonderful experience, and one that I will cherish for a lifetime!

Brings in field trips from Ann Arbor and way beyond--SE Michigan and Northern Ohio. Visiting children and grandchildren love it and demand visits from hosts each time they come to Ann Arbor.

The Ann Arbor Hands On Museum has activities for all ages of kids, from 1 to 101. There's always more to do than we can fit in on one day. Their family membership program is very reasonably priced, too, so we can go back over and over and over. Our kids love playing and learning there.

Compact building instructions so parents can keep an eye on the kids easily.

The Ann Arbor Hands On Museum makes learning fun for kids of all ages. We brought our daughters there before they knew how to walk and they were fully engaged by the infant/toddler space. The water play area was their favorite for a while. Now they have many favorite activities, but there is always something new to do. The Hands On Museum is a indispensable resource for our community.

The kids can spend hours there and you never have to say "don't touch that!" They learn so much and always ask questions the whole way home.

The Ann Arbor Hands On Museum makes science accessible, relevant, and—most importantly for my two-year-old daughter—fun. The exhibits and staff are engaging, smart, and entertaining, and we often show up more than once a week.

Why are they the best? Are you kidding? It's a kid's paradise, and for those of us in Ann Arbor, it's right in our back yard! My daughter loves it (though she's small enough that she still calls it the "Hands On Zoozeum"). She says "It's a learning museum 'cause you can touch stuff. They want you to touch because it makes you learn." She always loves to go there. And it's affordable - $70 a full year for a family, including grandparents. What more could you ask for?!?

Excellent staff and exhibits. Always a smiling face. It is obvious that they really want the children to get excited about science. We need more 'geeks' to get kids into learning!

The HandsOn Museum is appealing to many age groups, including adults. My two granddaughters (now ages 7 and 4 years) have been coming to the Hands-On since they were babies, and my fourth and fifth graders are excited whenever we book a field trip to your museum. Thank you for all you do to insure an interest in science at an early age.
