Every object that is manufactured today – from toys to tools to furniture – began as an idea and became a reality through people and technology, as raw materials were transformed into finished products. Through hands-on activities that demonstrate the processes that make up the manufacturing experience, discover the stories behind some of the everyday objects that line store shelves.

The Boonshoft Museum of Discovery is a children’s museum, science/technology center, and accredited zoo and also houses a Planetarium and an observatory. Visitors of all ages can explore, play and be inspired by permanent exhibits which include the Bernouilli Blower, Explorers Crossing, the Water Table, the Color Wall, a pioneer cabin, and over 60 animals native to Ohio.
