It sounds cool in theory to have one continuous bubble, but the hoop did not stay centered on the platform and the bubble would often pop before it reached the floor of the platform. At Impression 5, there was only two strings from the top making a continuous bubble. At the Hands on Museum, the bubble ring is suspended from about 6 strings making individual bubbles. Both museums feature a platform in a bubble tank so kids can make a bubble surround them. The Hands on Museum is larger, has better planned exhibits, and their exhibits are in better condition. At 5’2″, I could barely reach the string to turn the windsock when it was raised, my kindergartener could barely move it before raising the pole. It was really cool to see the Magic School Bus in person, but I felt they could have done more with the exhibit and had a few better design elements. The pole was quite heavy for the kids to lift (and fell quickly when they let go). There was a wind sock that could be lifted into fans to determine wind direction. Some of the exhibit designs also left a little to be desired. Some of the video monitors had visible burn-in and there were a few broken displays. The Magic School Bus exhibit has been at Impression 5 since December and leaves on April 7. My daughter had fun, but her friend’s mom and I were definitely underwhelmed by the museum and the Magic School Bus exhibit. It was obvious that it was near the end of its run. Ann Arbor Hands On Museum members are admitted free of charge as part of the Association of Science and Technology Centers and the Association of Children’s Museums reciprocal admission programs. Yesterday my daughter and I visited the museum with a friend.Īdmission to Impression 5 is $5/person from age 1-65. I was very excited last month to hear that the Magic School Bus was at the Impression 5 Museum in Lansing.
