Dare to Dream is an exhibit created to ignite your desire for discovery, sparking imaginations and inspiring new generations of explorers to dream of the possibilities that lie ahead. Created in collaboration with NASA and funded by General Motors and Lockheed Martin, this exhibit has inspired audiences at Pacific Science Center in Seattle, St. Louis Science Center, MOSI in Tampa, Cincinnati Museum Center, and the new Detroit Science Center. The dynamic educational exhibit comes from Evergreen Exhibitions. Featured: The mammoth Saturn V will allow children and adults alike to experience the rumble and pulsing of a pre-launch rocket simulating a view from hundreds of feet above the ground (Lobby). Galileo’s Studio will enable visitors to meet a costumed Galileo and peer through Galileo’s telescope that will provide a conceptual link between the “human” visible sky of stars, moon and the expansion of our concept of the universe (Youth area). Take a spin on a Centrifuge that you power like a bicycle to experience gravity (Youth area). Forest of Dreams, a multimedia presentation where the night sky inspires dreams (2nd floor). Ancient Cosmology invites one to step back in time to see how early civilizations viewed our place in the universe (2nd floor). The multimedia Space Exploration (Lobby walls), War of the Worlds (Youth Gateway walls), and Mission to Moon (2nd floor) timeline walls educate through stunning graphics and enticing video.
