DISCOVERY CENTER

NOW OPEN

Through a ground-breaking partnership with Disney/Pixar, visitors of all ages can be a part of an amazing experience found only at the Petersen. The Cars Mechanical Institute, inspired by the beloved animated film franchise, immerses visitors in a variety of activities and displays where they learn about the science and design of cars, as well as the history of the automobile. Visitors can paint and personalize virtual cars as well as trace and color their own Cars character to take home. Guests of all ages can race toy cars around a racetrack, while budding engineers can build their own Lego creations to race against their friends. Visitors can even race against Lightning McQueen by checking out a Carspad and building their own virtual car with help from all of the friends in Radiator Springs.
