EXPLORING OKLAHOMA WITH CHILDREN
In 2015, the museum’s indoor attractions underwent a major remodel, doubling the amount of exhibit space for families to explore. Today, families can see animal habitats, create on a giant Lite-Brite, care for patients in the pretend medical clinic, tinker with real tools and more. Power Tower, a two-story climbing structure, introduces the energy principles of oil, natural gas, wind and solar power with interactive elements throughout. There is also a toddler area and exhibit space for rotating exhibits from the Oklahoma Museum Network. Jantzen says the museum is perfectly sized for a day of play. “We are a really good size for families to spend a day here,” said Jantzen. “You can take it all in and not feel like you missed out on anything.” Leonardo’s is open Tuesday through Saturday. Admission is $11.99 for ages 2 and up. The museum hosts a sensory-sensitive playgroup on the second Tuesday of the month during the school year. Editor’s note: Science Museum Oklahoma, Leonardo’s and Jasmine Moran are part of the Oklahoma Museum Network, a collaboration funded by the Donald W. Reynolds Foundation. The network provides traveling interactive science exhibits, professional development opportunities and educational outreach events. Participating museums offer a passport program to their members. If you have a membership to a participating museum and present a current membership card, you can receive a 20 percent discount on general admission for up to 5 people per day.
