Set the family on course for a new adventure this month at the Maryland Science Center.

A traveling exhibit called “GPS Adventures” will be at the center through April 18. Visitors can explore cutting-edge Global Positioning Systems (GPS) technology and take part in an interactive Inner Harbor Geocaching hunt.

“GPS Adventures” will guide visitors through the history and future of navigation with more than 20 activities in a 4,500-square-foot maze. Obstacles and puzzles demonstrate the impact and advancement of GPS technology and how it is used. Each completed task or challenge leads visitors one step closer to their destination of Treasure City.

After completing the activities inside the center, visitors can head out on the hunt through Geocaching, a family-friendly treasure hunting game where participants use actual GPS devices provided by the Maryland Science Center to search for caches hidden around the Inner Harbor.

Admission to the Science Center is $14.95 to $24.95 for adults and $10.95 to $18.95 for children. For details and tickets, visit www.marylandsciencecenter.org or call 410-685-5225.
