There were also math games, puzzles, a Cartesian diver and a machine that recorded speech and played it backwards, to name a few. Some of the exhibits were too difficult for this reviewer to figure out, but there is a notebook with answers and instructions for each one. That is not to say that all of the exhibits were science based. There was also water sculptures, nature photography, quotes from Henry David Thoreau, Native American ceremonial masks, plants of the northwest and measurements of energy consumption of different cultures. Overall, Mindport is an interesting and refreshing mix of science and nature in an impressive collection of exhibits that appeal to both adults and children.
Groups are welcome, but the gallery prefers advance notice of groups of more than six.
