The Explorium of Lexington, Lexington
The Explorium of Lexington is a science center also known as the Children’s Museum. At its very beginning in 1987, a small group of people had an idea to create a Children’s Museum which was opened in 1990. Later in 2005, this place was renamed the Explorium, a new facility suitable for both children and adults. The renamed center is a dynamic environment which inspires curiosity and imagination. The museum is open from Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; on Sundays it is open from 1 until 5 p.m.; and on Mondays and holidays it is closed.
