TechnoToys is an exciting collection of interactive science and technology exhibits along the theme of "toys and playtime".

Suitable for children of all ages, many of the exhibits are based on familiar toys but have been given a new twist or an added dimension.

Examples include a one metre long helium-filled airship, flown by remote control; building blocks the size of suitcases which allow seemingly impossible structures to become stable; a digital raceway which allows visitors to compete for speed; a mechanised skipping rope where the player sets the pace, and many more fun and interactive exhibits.

The exhibition ranges across a wide range of educational subject areas with strong emphasis in areas of science, technology and mathematics.

TechnoToys was created by Excsite of Waikato Museum.
