At Logic Land, families can explore a large collection of hands-on activity stations. Each station offers a different mathematical puzzle, game, or creative challenge.
Visitors can move freely between stations and try as many activities as they like. Volunteers and instructors are always nearby to help and explain the ideas behind the puzzles.
There will be over 30 tables featuring problem-solving, logic puzzles, optical illusions, origami, math games, hands-on activities, construction challenges, and more. There will be stations for five-year-old newbies and advanced 12-year-olds, with plenty of opportunities for curious parents to join the crowd.
Come and join us. There will be over 30 tables to play!
To celebrate Mother’s Day, we will also offer special themed activities and crafts for families to enjoy together.
Below are some of the stations we invite you to visit.

Hands-On Geometry
We will have plenty of hands-on stations:
Mathematical Origami
Flexagons
Geometric folding
Tesselations
Polyhedron Building
Cryptography, codes, ciphers
This station is a special challenge for those who love mysteries.
There will be problems for the aspiring code breakers and code makers, as well as for fans of cryptarithmetic (problems in which letters have been substituted for numerals).
Construction and engineering
When toothpicks and creativity are mixed in the right proportion, the results can and do defy imagination. Creativity, of course, is a kid's domain. Expect to see fantastic creatures, wondrous geometric shapes, and royal castles built by kids of all ages (and some adults!)!
Math paper crafts
Can you construct a surface that has just one side? How about folding a paper circle into a tetrahedron?
Can you fold a strip of paper into a cool tetraflexagon? Visit this station to explore our favorite math paper craft activities.
Optical Illusions and Mirrors
Optical illusions are a clever way to use mathematics to evoke curiosity in children.
Strategic board games, puzzles, and other diversions
This station is just what it sounds like: come play strategic games and puzzles, discover the mathematics behind them, and explore winning strategies!
