Handley Recreation Center

The Handley Center is your stop for hands-on activities for all ages!

Catapult your knowledge of physics by building your own pompom launcher. Explore the night sky constellations with an art activity. Detect invisible particles with a cosmic ray detector and cloud chamber. Build a DNA bracelet. Monitor the Earth’s rumblings with a raspberry shake seismometer. Test your archeology skills with a fossil-matching activity. Peer into the Universe with the Journey Museum’s immersive geodome or take a look inward with Monument Health’s giant inflatable heart and lungs.
