In this hands-on, minds-on exhibit, kids will get to explore different thought processes and learn how effective problem-solving can boost self-confidence. After meeting the Think Tank Guides (Carlos, Felicia, Rosie and Isaac), you can jump right into solving the riddles...or you might want to put on custom-made thinking caps and lounge in the thinking chairs to get those brainstorming juices flowing! Either way, inventive, "outside the box" thinking is sure to occur!

This multi-level exhibit offers a variety of specialized thinking areas:

• Brain Challenges presents mental acrobatics with number games, guessing games, riddles and physical challenges.
• Puzzle Pavilion pesters with pre-made and make-your-own jigsaw puzzles, hidden picture challenges and all sorts of hands-on spatial puzzlers.
• Optical Illusions features mirrors to let kids defy gravity, peer into infinity and tease their brain while they try to perform everyday tasks "backwards."
• Thinking Caps and Thinking Chairs provide comfy thinking time with a lot of creativity.

With a little help from Carlos the Curios, Felicia Fact Finder, Rosie Risk It, and Isaac I've Got It!, you will be solving riddles, crazy brain games, mind teasers and more in Think Tank. You'll find new ways to solve old problems and exercise creative thinking through all sorts of zany activities including puzzles, mirror magic, optical illusions and more!
