A place dedicated to observation and experimentation will have your kids not even realizing they’re learning during the summer.

News13’s Nicole Walters’ family gives us a look inside the new Da VInci Science Center located in the Lehigh Valley for our Summer Fun Report.

From the latest technology to exploring your world and even wildlife, there’s a lot to see and do inside the Da Vinci Science Center in Allentown.

And my kids couldn’t wait to check it out. Creativity drew my five-year-old daughter in at Curiosity Hall. Rila got to make her own digital animation of herself.

She and my almost two-year-old son Braven then came face-to-face with some life-sized prehistoric creatures in Dinos Alive. It’s the current traveling exhibit on site until September 8th.

Their minds continued to be blown as they got their hands on light, electricity and sound with the gallery Science in the Making.

Da Vinci Science Center Marketing Sales Director Tamara Krizek says, "We worked with manufacturers all throughout the valley to bring scientific principles to life for kids and see how it works out in everyday manufacturing. It’s a lot of fun, whether they’re looking in a Mac Truck or they’re doing the pulley system."

Next Rila and Braven popped up inside the Lehigh River Watershed. From the featured Pocono Ravine to the pools and dig pits, getting their hands wet definitely made a splash. 11-year-old Armani Carlevarnino tells us it’s his favorite experience inside the new facility.

Carlevarnino says, "I’m trying to build a dam with these Lego blocks."

My kids got to see first-hand the importance of cherishing and preserving the beauty of the Lehigh Valley.

Da Vinci Science Center Animal Care Technician Jessica Fronckwicz says, "Since people have taken such a huge call to action when it comes to animals, North American River Otters are actually coming back to this vicinity and they have been seen in the Bethlehem area, Allentown area."

Our adventure ended getting up close and personal with the human body. Rila made her way through the intestinal maze.

The whole day was a true playground of discovery which is the goal for every visit.

Krizek says, "Having fun with science. We want to bring science to life and lives to science."

Mission accomplished in Allentown, Nicole Walters, News13.
