Fore! The Planet allows you to discover how changes in the environment from natural causes and man made decisions affect the overall health of our planet. The exciting interactive exhibit features 18 holes of indoor golf for people of all ages to try their hand at putting while acquiring environmental knowledge for a better understanding of the world in which we live.

Explore the cause and effect factors leading to pollution, the impact of recycling, population threats, landfills, and many more! Make your own choices about the environment by choosing a putting path. Fore! The Planet is a fun way to appreciate a message of stewardship and conservation through a game of miniature golf.

Each round of golf is $1 for museum members and $2 for non members. This exhibition is accessible to the disabled.
