Discovery World - Milwaukee

This is suspended in the center of the spiral staircase.

Bug and her cousin M trying out a helicopter.

It's hard to see, but this is a hydraulic dinosaur.
Bug enjoyed operating the controls for the dinosaur.

This lady offered the girls a ride on a hovercraft. After the ride, Bug's dad had them try to move it and they realized how much help the air was.

Bug, enjoying the view.
M, relaxing.

The multiple mirrors leading into The Hive...
Cousin M was VERY brave. She's waiting for the nails to be raised.

Cousin M, lying on a bed of nails! She looks quite comfortable. I checked...they were sharp!

Bug, checking her weight on an old scale. You can see me reflected on the right.

Bug's dad is demonstrating the theramin. Very cool.
Bug was a little too wiggly at this point.

The girls had to run in this wheel (like hamsters) to make enough energy to pump water.
Surprises at the Van de Graaff generator.
