Look Lab
is all about light and optics. Experiment with lenses, colors, phosphorescence, magnification and more in tons of hands-on stations like these:
Ames Monster Room:
Can you really believe what you see? Find out in this perception illusion station!
Light & Color:
Combine different color lights to make beautiful new colors.
Heat Cam:
Step in front of our fascinating thermal imaging camera to see what’s hot and what’s not!
Amazing Laser Maze:
Analyze the laser beams then adjust them just right to hit targets.
Time To Focus:
Use mirrors and prisms to control light in interesting ways.
Infinity Mirror:
See how light reflecting off a mirror can turn 3 mice into a million!
Extreme Close-Up:
See how a camera converts light images to magnify different slides or even your body parts!
Draw With Light:
Use a light pen to draw a wonder picture, but be quick because it won't be visible for long!
Quicker Than The Eye:
Control the speed of a spinning strobe and watch the cool effects.
