This ribbon cutting came with a magnetic attraction! 💛

We celebrated the opening of The Original MAGNA-TILES® Experience, a new traveling exhibit created by MODS and making its first stop right here at home.

Have a builder in the family? Bring them along for Dream, Create & Test Weekends throughout October, with hands-on MAGNA-TILES® challenges to put their ideas to work. Grown-ups, you can get in on the building, too.

The exhibit stays through January 4.
