At Long Island Children’s Museum
New exhibit explores the inside world of toys…timeless toys provide the opportunity to explore science. Ever wondered how an Etch A Sketch works or what’s inside Jack-in-the-Box? Take a peek inside these classic toys and others in the new exhibit Toys: The Inside Story that opened at the Long Island Children’s Museum on October 1. If you’ve been wondering how to stop your toddler’s push toy from making such an infernal racket, you’ll love Toys: The Inside Story, it lets visitors look inside common toys while exploring the basics of pulleys, cams, gears, linkages and circuits. The exhibit consists of 12 components that allow for hands-on exploration and experimentation. Throughout the exhibit visitors can examine the inside workings of classic games such as Operation, Hungry Hippo and a newer classic – Hokey Pokey Elmo. In the What’s Inside? section of the exhibit visitors can look in detail at popular toys such as Mr. Machine and a Jack-in-the-Box. The Gears at Play section illustrates the effects of gear ratios as visitors figure out how to make the ballerina and carousel spin faster or slower. The exhibit will run through January 7 and is free with museum admission. All activities will be held at the Long Island Children’s Museum, 11 Davis Avenue, Garden City. Children must be accompanied by an adult. Museum admission: $10 for adults and children over 1 year old. Under 1 year old free. $9 seniors. Additional fees for theater and special programs may apply.
