Have you checked out the Sound Station in our Science Playground? 🛝 🎶

The Sound Station shows how size and materials can change the tone of a note. Using a mallet or the palm of their hands, visitors can strike nine different xylophones. Although all tuned to the same pentatonic scale, the different pipe widths and materials produce different tones. 🎵 🧪 🔬

We are open Wednesday through Sunday, from 10:00am–5:00pm each day. Visit to explore the Sound Station for yourself!
