If all the science and technology exhibits aren’t your thing, check out the butterfly garden, 3-D movies, laser shows, or planetarium. If that’s still not your thing, the views from the Skyline Room and the rooftop observatory are pretty sweet.
The oldest arboretum in the country offers paved paths and gorgeous scenery on 200-plus acres. Family programs teach about trees and plant life, but riding a bike or wandering through the woods can be just as entertaining.
