"The Kidspace Children's Museum in Pasadena on Thursday will open a $4-million outdoor playground that will feature 13 interactive exhibits designed to illustrate fundamental scientific concepts.

"For instance, there is a rubber ball firing range to demonstrate velocity and trajectory. Another exhibit, designed to illustrate angular momentum, allows participants to adjust weights to control the speed of a rolling wheel. The exhibit is intended to show "why some galaxies spin faster because their mass is closer to the center," said Kidspace Chief Executive Michael Shanklin, a former science teacher. On Thursday, Shanklin played with some of the museum's new toys, including a "bottle blaster" that shoots its missiles several stories high. - SteVe C

Been looking forward to this for awhile. I plan to go once school starts back up to avoid most of the clientele. - Anika from FFHound!
