Exhibits.

The highly interactive exhibits that you will explore and play with at MOXI were designed in partnership with the award-winning Gyroscope, Inc. and created by Creative Machines, Roto, and the Science Museum of Minnesota.

Leave your expectations about exhibits at the door and get ready to discover, play, and engage in a new way at MOXI. Our three floors are filled with loads of interactive experiences, organized around seven themes that all relate to science, technology, engineering, arts, and math.

A day spent at MOXI will be different each time you visit – with new things to see, new approaches to take, new challenges to solve, and new discoveries to uncover.
