Kids can bust a move on camera for a personalized animation video at the Pop ‘n’ Lock exhibit or test their luck with robotic racing at Sphero Speedway. Little rockstars can even create their own musical instruments with an interactive conductive circuit board in the Ototo Sound Lab. Check out the digiPlaySpace.

With the addition of digiPlaySpace, Eureka! has hosted its busiest summer in nearly 20 years with over 60,000 visitors. The addition of digiPlaySpace comes soon after Eureka! marked its 25th anniversary with announcements for a huge expansion.
