Star Wars Exhibit Entrance

Do you get excited every time you hear the phrase, “Luke, I am your father” in a deep, breathy tone? Do you know the events that caused a young boy to turn into the beast that is Darth Vader? If so, you’re undoubtedly going to enjoy the new Star Wars exhibit coming to the Franklin Institute Science Museum in Philadelphia. This traveling exhibit will be in the City of Brotherly Love until May 4, so you have plenty of time to visit it as many times as you’ve seen the six installments of the Star Wars series.

The official name of the exhibit is Star Wars: Where Science Meets Imagination. And just like its name, the exhibit features a combination of displays that test the limits of science and imagination. Think of how exciting it would be to see Luke Skywalker’s landspeeder from the first Star Wars movie (which is actually the fourth episode in the series). Other than that, there are more than 100 other exhibits you’ll enjoy.

But wait! There’s more!

In addition to numerous displays, there are more than 20 exhibits that offer visitors the opportunity to interact. You can play the role of one of your favorite characters, whether it’s Hans Solo, C-3PO, or even Princess Leia. Sit in the driver’s seat of the Millennium Falcon and tour the galaxies while dodging comets, planets, and stars. Or see what it’s like to be in the body of a gold-plated, wise-cracking robot partnered with a smaller robot that only speaks in squeaks and beeps.

The exhibit also focuses on the possibility of making the science in Star Wars a reality today (or at least in the near future). Can you imagine your children being able to ride a hovercraft to school each day? Or learning about space exploration in school by actually going into space? With the technology used in the Star Wars movies, it could be a real possibility in your child’s lifetime.

If you want to visit the Philadelphia area so you can take part in fighting storm troopers and experience a “galaxy far, far away,” there are ten hotels in the area that are offering exclusive packages for fans. The Star Wars VIP Hotel Package includes a VIP pass, tickets to the exhibition that you can use any day of the week, and other features that only true fans will enjoy.
