The Discovery Science Place has announced a new traveling exhibit featuring Nickelodeon’s iconic Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The hands-on children’s exhibit, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Secrets of the Sewer, is currently on loan through Sunday, May 21, and features various puzzles, mazes, and obstacles.
“We are excited to offer this first-ever, one-of-a-kind exhibit that features such beloved characters,” said Carol Whiteside, DSP interim executive director. “Children and their families will learn about teamwork, collaboration, and problem-solving as they make their way through the exhibit.”
Exhibit tickets are $10 each for both adults and children, and this cost excludes general admission. A media night and members-only event will be 4-8 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 9, at the museum, located at 308 North Broadway in downtown Tyler.
