--Color digital paintings by Picasso, Renoir or Walt Disney.

--Look into a giant kaleidoscope. Do not adjust your eyes. Objects are jazzier more jazzy than they normally appear.

--Draw in the dark with a light-powered pen. Be sure to sign your name. It won't last long, but it sure is fun.

--Climb through the 35-foot-tall maze called Water's Journey, which simulates a water droplet's cycle from aquifer to atmosphere and back to earth.

--Make and bend noodles into any shape you want. We suggest fettuccine.
