Test Track

Saturday, August 29*
9 am – 4 pm

Calling all test drivers! Children are invited to zip through fun obstacles in the Museum’s Test Track. They’ll twist, teeter, and bump through the track using their own mini-transportation from home. In addition, drivers can decorate their ride, helmet, and gear, draw their own dream course in our chalk prototyping area, and try to beat their best time in Need for Speed trials.

This experience lasts approximately 60 minutes.

$8 per Member
