The Fleet is opening a world-premiere exhibition: Pause/Play.
Pause|Play is an invitation for the young and the young-at-heart to leave the digital world behind, hit pause on their busy lives and recapture the nostalgia of play. Playing is not only enjoyable, it also has cognitive, social, emotional and health benefits for every age. The exhibition entices visitors to explore through play, and it incorporates a scientific twist to enhance every activity. Pause|Play features more than 11 experiences that were each designed to evoke childhood memories.
The first part of the exhibition, the Park, brings the outdoors inside with playground activities set amongst grass below and clouds above. The slide invites visitors to climb up and plunge down. Unlike other slides, this slide clocks the speed and visitors can try out different factors to see how it affects their speed. Included in this area, visitors will also explore different scientific concepts through a whirling merry-go-round and augmented-reality sandboxes.
Nearby, visitors will find the pool. This pool is filled with balls, lit from below, and it offers an opportunity to explore mathematical concepts.
In the Neighborhood, visitors can test their perception and aim with the basketball hoops, ride a tricycle with square wheels and play a glowing game of hopscotch.
Pause|Play is an immersive, evocative experience for the mind and body. Through this new exhibition, the Fleet Science Center invites everyone to relax and remember, experiment and enjoy: Pause|Play.
Pause|Play is included with the cost of admission.
