Part museum exhibit, part playground, TapeScape features climbable tunnels that pulse with spirals of LED lights. TapeScape creator Eric Lennartson says, “We can showcase simple scientific concepts that even the youngest kids can understand and still be interesting to an adult that is an engineer. Does it look like a spider web, the human circulatory or nervous system, or some science fiction galactic wormhole? No matter your age or education, there is something almost everyone relates to and finds interesting.”

TapeScape is seen under construction.

While little ones will likely be the most impressed by the exhibit, it is indeed appropriate for the entire family. As my sore legs can attest, adults and older kids are encouraged to climb in and explore this remarkable structure made out of household materials. Expect to spend about 45 minutes climbing and playing before moving on to other parts of the museum. 

TapeScape will be open Thursdays and Fridays, 2pm through 5pm, and Saturdays and Sundays, 11am through 6pm. For more information, visit the museum website. All programs are included with museum admission. General admission to the children's museum is $11 per person and infants under the age of 12 months are free.
