Smithsonian Spark!Lab

Spark!Lab offers children a new informal approach to hands-on learning. Instead of following step-by-step instructions, young inventors are empowered to problem-solve and overcome real-world obstacles.
Spark!Lab also offers a newly created exploration space for the youngest inventors. This specially designed space has a train and an exploration table filled with unique tools to help spark creativity, thinking, and learning.
Timed tickets are available at the front desk.
