The brilliant team at the museum set out to find a bigger space and ran a successful capital campaign to expand to a much larger location. The new space was phenomenal—from outdoor climbing and obstacle courses, interactive exhibits that spanned life-size light-up games, to aeronautics with flying balls, to roller coa
