There are so many fun things to do at the Emerald Coast Science Center that it’s hard to know where to begin! Fly and land a model airplane in a wind tunnel. Play with a laser spirograph or a Van de Graaff generator (the thing that makes your hair stand up on end). Come face-to-face with tarantulas and millipedes. Who says science can’t be fun?
