2017 Exhibits
This year's exhibits combined interactivity with educational elements, making it easier for all ages to enjoy the museum. The exhibits ranged from how the pioneers got to California to Highway 50 to building a helium balloon platform out of LEGOs!
Transit Detectives
In this exhibit, guests used their detective skills to match 10 transit collectibles with the city that they came from! For example, a bus that said "ACE" on the side of it would be from Las Vegas.
Reaching California
Get a glimpse of what life was like on the trail going to California. You'll get to make the same life-or-death decisions that the pioneers did: Do you pack more clothing or more food? What draft animal should you take? Should you take the shortcut?
The online version of this exhibit is coming soon! Please check back later.
Drivers Test
Test your driving skill by playing a simulator game and answering driving test questions. When you've passed, get your own Transportation Museum Driver's License!

GET A R1DE
You've probably heard a lot about ride hailing services like Uber and Lyft. But do you know how they work? And how they compare to taxis? Get answers to these questions and more!
The Loneliest Road in America
In July 1986, Life Magazine described Highway 50 through Nevada as "The Loneliest Road in America." While this description may be accurate, in this exhibit, you'll learn what there is to do along the way. How would a Highway 50 trip compare to a Disneyland vacation?

Roll Your Ride
Learn how transportation choices affect climate change while playing a fun carnival game: you roll 6 balls with the hope of getting a very low score or a very high score!
