The Tech Interactive is excited to announce a BRAND NEW earthquake exhibit, Seismic Valley: The Earthquake Experience, in Summer of 2027.
At the heart of the exhibit is the Seismic Valley Library, an immersive earthquake simulator that places guests inside a realistic environment as an earthquake rumbles around them. They’ll watch shelves rattle and books shift as they experience quakes of all sizes, from small tremors to powerful magnitude 8 events.
