If you’ve never been to the SciTech Hands On Museum in downtown Aurora at 18 W Benton St, IL 60506, you’re seriously missing out on one of Illinois' coolest, most interactive science spots. 

Tucked away in a historic post office building (yes, the kind with old-school charm), SciTech is more than just a museum — it’s a full-blown mind-blowing experience for curious kids, parents who want to feel like kids again, and anyone who loves pressing buttons and watching stuff go boom, flash, or spin.

⚡ Why SciTech Is a Must-Visit

• 🧪 200+ Interactive Exhibits – Yeah, that’s right. Two HUNDRED. From a whisper tube that lets you talk to someone across the room like you’re secret agents, to plasma globes that give off those mad scientist vibes, every single exhibit screams, “TOUCH ME.”

• STEM-Powered Learning – Science, Tech, Engineering, and Math just got way cooler. Kids (and adults!) get to learn by doing — and that’s how the magic sticks.

• 🚀 Outer Space Zone – There’s a real mission control setup where you can feel like you’re launching a rocket to Mars. Houston, we are nerding out.

• ⚙️ Robotics & Engineering Labs – Build a robot, test your contraptions, and get hands-on with the gadgets of the future. It’s like being in your sci-fi movie.

• Nano Lab & Physics Playground – Ever wanted to know what happens to stuff at the atomic level? Or how forces work in real life? Get in there and experiment like a boss.

💡 Bonus Fact: 

SciTech is housed in a former U.S. Post Office that’s over 90 years old — talk about giving new life to a classic! It’s got that mix of vintage architecture and futuristic fun that makes your Instagram pics 🔥.
