Ann Arbor Hands-On Museum

The Ann Arbor Hands-On Museum contains multiple exhibits about physics, biology, astronomy, and engineering, enabling visitors to directly interact with scientific principles.

The museum opened in 1978 in a renovated fire station building, expanding its educational offerings throughout the years to become a major scientific center.

Teachers incorporate the museum's resources into their curricula through field trips, workshops, and specialized programs that reinforce classroom lessons with practical experiments.

Located at 220 East Ann Street, the museum provides video conferencing options for remote learning and maintains partnerships with regional educational institutions.

The hydraulic excavator exhibit allows children to operate actual construction equipment controls, teaching mechanical principles through direct manipulation.
