The Magic School Bus Kicks Up a Storm

Discovery Center

A magical, brilliant school bus that takes you on far out trips into outer space, the Earth’s core, the ocean floor and inside the human body? No, it’s not Ken Kesey—it’s Mrs. Frizzle. The Discovery Science Center’s newest interactive exhibit brings that other famed magic school bus to the giant, familiar cube right off the 5. The bus has been transformed into a weather observatory where you can learn all about the different types of weather, how we predict weather, how people adapt to weather, actually help measure lightning and much more. The best part? The Friz and Liz the anthropomorphic lizard will be on hand to greet the kidlets in person. Time to lay off that Kool-Aid.
