Just off I-94 in Bridgman, the Cook Energy Information Center offers a great spot to stretch your legs and your mind. High on a sand dune overlooking Lake Michigan, three FREE theater shows offer a look at energy today, in the year 2001 and beyond. In Theater I, robot news anchors discuss energy in the year 2001. A high-tech model in Theater II uses sound, light and movement to explain how energy is produced in the Cook Nuclear Plant. Finally, a Vistascope wide-screen film in Theater III gives you a helicopter ride along Lake Michigan and into the nuclear plant itself.
