Among the exhibits are the 52-foot (16-meter) high Great Gravity Clock, the largest kinetic sculpture in Florida; The Discovery Center for the under-7s; an exploration of Florida's fragile ecosystems in Florida EcoScapes; an explanation of the universal concepts in modern technology in Gizmo City and a 3D IMAX film theater with a regularly changing program.
