⚡🎶 NEW EXHIBIT ALERT at the Science Mine! 🎶⚡

Get ready to hear science like never before… introducing our Musical Tesla Coil!

This electrifying exhibit doesn’t just create lightning—it makes music with electricity. That’s right… sparks are literally playing tunes right before your eyes (and ears)!

Bring your curiosity (and maybe cover your ears 😄) and come experience one of the most unique ways to explore science!

🧠✨ At the Science Mine, we believe discovery should be fun, surprising, and shared—and this exhibit checks all the boxes.

📍 Open Saturdays from 10 AM – 2 PM
Come see (and hear!) it for yourself!
