Design Zone is divided into three sections: Music, Art, and Action. In the Music area, young music makers can mix their own music samples, scratch like a DJ on turntables, and put on a light show that syncs to hip hop beats. The Art zone allows kids to create 2D and 3D art and play physics-based games, while the Action section lets visitors design their own roller coaster rides and skate parks. Design Zone runs through September 1. Free with museum admission. Please note: The NY Hall of Science will have shortened hours (10 am-1 pm) on June 2.
