About GPS
Adventures Arkansas
The GPS Adventures Arkansas Maze Exhibit is a smaller, regional
version of the nationally touring GPS Adventures Maze Exhibit and
prominently features Arkansas State Parks. The educational exhibit
will travel to 7 Arkansas museums over three-and-a-half years.
Attendees learn about GPS through interactive science
experiences in a 1,500 square foot indoor maze and an outdoor GPS
training course. The maze will take visitors through three main
rooms - Tools of Discovery, Modern Explorer, and Discovering
Arkansas - each dedicated to interactive science learning.
An additional geocaching program spanning all 52 Arkansas State
Parks will complement the traveling exhibit. Learn more about the
Arkansas
ParkCache Program.
