Description
From Ben Franklin, for whom the Franklin Institute Science Museum is named, to Sir Isaac Newton, anatomy to electricity, weather to sports, the exhibits at The Franklin are all about the science of life. Interactive exhibits make learning fun for all ages and give visitors the opportunity to switch into gear with the inner-workings of things that go in Amazing Machines, stay on track in the Train Factory and get up to speed on the brilliant mind and innovations of Ben Franklin in the Franklin, He's Electric, exhibit before moving on to catch a big-screen movie in the IMAX theater and check out hands on activity in the latest changing exhibit. There's a lot to do here, so plan for a half day at least.
