about The Works Hands-On Museum:

The Works Hands-On Museum (formerly known as The Works Technology Discovery Center) is an interactive museum that makes science and engineering fun for kids ages five to 15. More than 40 exhibits and unique family activities engage visitors, demystify technology, and inspire interest in the way things work.

Classes: Offered during school release days, with special monthly programs for homeschoolers. Custom programs can be scheduled for groups of eight or more.

Camps: Summer programs are offered for boys and girls ages five to 14.

Parties: Packages for ages five to 12 include time in a private party room and the exhibit gallery, a host and activities, a "face warp" portrait of each guest, and set-up and clean-up. Cake and beverages can be brought in from outside. Rates start at $135 for a 90-minute party for up to 10 children and four adults (additional guests $6 each). Add-ons include additional time and private workshops.
