Adults ages 18 and up are invited to explore The Science Behind Pixar exhibition alongside the Science Center’s exhibits in a kid-free, low-stimulus environment. Visitors can be comfortable engaging in any movement or vocalizations that are part of their self-expression. Lighting and sound effects throughout the museum are reduced/adjusted for sensory-friendly events.
- Dive into the minds of the artists and computer scientists who help bring Pixar’s award-winning films to the big screen. Go behind the scenes with The Science Behind Pixar exhibition as you replicate Pixar magic through more than 50 interactive and hands-on displays.
