The classic book, Polar Express, comes to life through the POLAR EXPRESS Train Ride aboard the Brightline, during Pajama Parties at the Museum where you’ll enjoy hot cocoa, elves, Holiday science and, of course, in spectacular 3D in the AutoNation IMAX Theater. Discover that math isn’t just a subject in school—it’s a fundamental, creative tool that artists and engineers use to design and invent! The new exhibit, Design Zone highlights the relationship between mathematical thinking and the creative process in art, music, and engineering. Visitors solve real-world challenges in interactive experiences ranging from roller coaster design to music creation – haven’t you always wanted to be the DJ? If you prefer the quiet beauty of nature, the new documentary Great Bear Rainforest will take your breath away. Journey with us into the heart of Canada’s Great Bear Rainforest, and discover the inspiring story of one of the rarest animals on Earth – the elusive, all- white Spirit Bear.
