Let your imagination soar! Be an astronaut, rescue pilot, construction worker, actor, and more in The Strong’s original, permanent Imagination Destination exhibit. Role-play in inspiring spaces bursting with physical challenges, such as a rescue helicopter, construction site, rocket ship, and theater.
- Jump into the captain’s chair and take command of the bridge on the U.S.S. Strong—a futuristic spaceship replete with lights and sounds reminiscent of favorite science-fiction movies.
- Climb into the cockpit of an emergency helicopter with working controls and set off on a search-and-rescue mission.
- Crawl through the city sewers to fix pipes and to see live critters and crawlers, including real cockroaches.
- Gather your tools and help build a house by attaching siding and shingles.
- Put on a costume in front of a giant mirror. Then deliver an on-stage performance worthy of a Tony Award in the newly renovated theater.
- Bust a move in the dance studio and practice your footwork while listening to classic, country, and contemporary music.
- Step through a giant magnifying glass and shrink down to the size of a bug in an area specially designed for toddlers, which includes an oversized honeycomb maze.
- Climb up and around a rocket ship set among the stars. Work your way through spaces packed with physical play opportunities—including a ropes maze, tube slide, climbing deck, and moon walk area.
