IdeaWorks

IdeaWorks!

Imagination takes center stage as kids design, create, tinker and build structures, vehicles, simple machines and everyday products. IdeaWorks is alive with creativity and innovation.
  • Go Zone – Discover how simple machines work and move as you make and race your own car, create an array of paths for our marble run and maneuver gears and pulleys.
  • Super Structures – Build big! Inspire your inner-architect as you draft and construct fanciful castles, houses and high rises with colorful blocks.
  • Work Bench – Grab a pair of goggles and use real tools to build objects from recycled household materials – you never know what you’ll find in our supply bins! Bring in your recycled household items and help us stock our Eco Bins.
  • StudioSTYLE – Design or select a pattern to make apparel, accessories and more. Use needles and thread to sew a button, dress a paper doll in fanciful fabrics and show off your individual style by displaying your design for others to see.
