Seatbelts everyone! Buckle up and get ready for a wild weather ride. Join the popular Ms. Frizzle™ and her class in the Mayborn Museum's spring exhibit, The Magic School Bus™ Kicks Up A Storm.

Based on the best-selling Scholastic books and the ever-popular television series, this bilingual, hands-on traveling exhibit will transport visitors into the wacky world of weather.
The fun begins as children learn how to create snowflake crystals, make a hot air balloon soar, experience a hurricane and snowstorm, and become a meteorologist for the day!
