| | New Interactive Maze Exhibit to Open February 3, 2024, at Sloan Museum of Discovery
Mazes & Brain Games is an interactive exhibit for multi-generations of families to enjoy together. The interactive exhibit winds its way over 5,000 square feet with 60+ puzzling experiences that inspire exploration and ingenuity. Visitors will test their perceptions through the maze of illusions, become a "webmaster" by climbing through an intricate web of ropes without getting tangled in the Web Maze, and get lost in a network of color in the Color Maze, among many other experiences.
Mazes & Brain Games blends education and physical activity. The exhibit poses questions, creates empathy, dispels myths and challenges perceptions. The versatility in this exhibit medium makes for a unique learning tool for both children and adults.
The current traveling exhibit, REAL BODIES: THE EXHIBITION, closes January 14, 2024, after a 6-month run at Sloan. For tickets to see this international exhibit before it closes, go to SloanLongway.org/Real-Bodies.
