Rockets, Robots, and Ray Guns
Learn about the ways that science-fiction books, toys, movies, and video games have captured people’s imaginations and shaped the way they play. Travel to distant futures and faraway galaxies to explore key themes such as space heroes, robots, time travel, and extraterrestrial life. Try your hand at interactive elements, including science-fiction arcade games, such as Tron, Johnny Mnemonic, and Terminator 2; magnetic puzzles; an alien art gallery; a time machine; and a giant version of Space Invaders.
Opening weekend only, meet and pose for pictures with members of the 501st Legion as they stroll through the museum in full Star Wars regalia, and say “nuqneh” (hi in Klingon) to popular characters from other well-known science-fiction universes. Come in costume or visit the alien dress-up area to transform into a creature from a faraway planet. Included with general museum admission fees.
