Can you make a ball float and guide it through a maze? 💨💡

Every Saturday in June, put your skills to the test with our Bernoulli Obstacle Course.

Using a stream of air, you’ll keep a ping-pong ball suspended while navigating tunnels, hoops, and tricky turns you build yourself. Along the way, explore how air pressure powers museum favorites like the Peanut Fountain and Bernoulli Blower.

🧪 Discovery Table | 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM
🎟 Included with general admission
