Visitors explore the center at their own pace. Activities and exhibits are organized into zones, including Forces and Movement, in which participants can send a hot-air balloon skyward; Body and Perception, where you can test your reaction speed, and Light and Colour, where you can capture your silhouette in a shadow box. A forestry-themed exhibit is home to a wide range of insects, amphibians, and reptiles.
The Look Out also has a play area outside, split into three sections: an inclusive play area with a wheelchair-accessible merry-go-round, slide, and a cradle swing; an area for younger children that includes a ship to set sail in; and a more challenging area for children aged 7–11, which includes a fort to defend.
