Attuned to child-centered curiosities and investigation, each of the new exhibit galleries in the Children’s Museum of Houston will be created with the following quintessential childhood questions in mind: Where does it come from? What can it do? Can I do that? Can I figure it out? What if? What is it made from?

WHERE DOES IT COME FROM?

Kidtropolis, USA

A new exhibit that will occupy half of the Museum’s first floor in the all new Where Does It Come From? Gallery! Kidtropolis, USA features the iconic buildings of a thriving metropolis, including a city hall, bank, TV studio, vet clinic, post office, café, and market.

What Can It Do?

FlowWorks

A water-driven engine of an exhibit, this interactive, 5,000 square feet area will give visitors the opportunity to act as engineers and plumbers, inspecting, operating and maintaining various parts of the engine.

CAN I DO THAT?

PowerPlay

Implemented in partnership with Baylor College of Medicine and developed in part with funding from the National Institutes of Health, PowerPlay engages visitors in their own personal bioscience research as they discover how their bodies respond to physical challenges. A one-of-a-kind super-sized challenge course will be housed in a four story, 40 feet high structure, accessed through PowerPlay portals within the exhibit!

CAN I FIGURE IT OUT?

Cyberchase – The Chase Is On!

Based on Cyberchase, the award-winning PBS KIDS GO! math mystery cartoon, Cyberchase – The Chase Is On! will invite children to join forces with the CyberSquad on action-packed adventures to thwart Hacker, the show’s nefarious villain, by using their math and reasoning skills.

WHAT IF?

Invention Convention

Step into a workshop of gadgets and gizmos where kids can create, concoct, and construct contraptions at Invention Convention. Visitors will be given the opportunity to invent, and share their inventions with others.

WHAT IS IT MADE FROM?

Matter Factory

A new exhibit housed in the existing Museum building in the How Does It Work? Gallery. Matter Factory is designed to introduce visitors to the concepts of materials science and increase awareness of materials and technologies developed at the nano-level.
