007 SCIENCE

griffin museum of science

The name's Bond, James Bond ... when this movie geek and car gearhead heard that the Griffin Museum of Science + Industry was hosting a 007 exhibit featuring costumes, props and vehicles from the films you know I had to take a road trip to Chicago. How often do you get the chance to obtain close up views of items used in filming some of your favorite movies?! Only on display until October 27, 2024, this limited time exhibit, 007 SCIENCE: INVENTING THE WORLD OF JAMES BOND, showcases how film production teams utilized real-world science to cast Hollywood magic on moviegoers. I am so GEEKED that I made the trip to Chicago's science museum for this James Bond 007 experience!

007 SCIENCE, INVENTING THE WORLD OF JAMES BOND highlights how moviemakers harnessed scientific thinking to craft 007's iconic gadgets and vehicles as well as employed physics, chemistry, engineering and mathematics to create the thrilling stunts and actions sequences the films are known for. There is a big emphasis in the exhibit on the technology used for spying by both the fictional 007 and his real-life counterparts in the CIA and MI-6. Get a look at fantastical gadgets created for the Bond films alongside the real-life inventions they prefigured—see a prototype jetpack from “Thunderball” and the modern Gravity Industries Jet Suit.

You have to love the cars in 007 movies and there are a number of them on display here ranging from the classic Aston Martin DB5 Bond Car seen in films that include "Goldfinger", "Thunderball", "Tomorrow Never Dies", "Skyfall" and "No Time to Die" to the more modern DB10 model created by the car manufacture to be featured in "Spectre." The weaponized Jaguar XKR used by the villainous henchman Zao in "Die Another Day" is also featured in the exhibit to provide some contrast to the hero's vehicles. 

You can also get a look at one of James Bond's most memorable cars, Wet Nellie, a custom-built submarine shaped to look like a Lotus Esprit S1 sports car used in "The Spy Who Loved Me." Interesting the submarine actually works but it wasn't able to maintain a dry interior so occupants had to wear scuba gear while operating it. The film crew hired an ex-Navy SEAL to drive Wet Nellie when shooting underwater scenes and borrowed the chairman of Lotus personal vehicle for shooting road scenes featuring the car.

007 science

There is also a lab space inspired by Q, the source of secret field technologies in the Bond movies, where you can test your abilities to design the perfect spy vehicle as well as learn about the science behind the tech and technique of the world’s most famous spy. As you make your way through the galleries complete a scavenger hunt questionnaire that adds to the educational element of the experience. Turn it in on your way out to get a free sticker!

Also, on display is concept art used to develop the look of the films to assist in creating costumes, props and sets. I always find this type of artwork intriguing and am glad some of these samples were included within the exhibit.

Admission to the James Bond exhibit is a separate, timed-entry ticket purchase in addition to the general museum admission price. So, if you visit, make sure to explore all of this wonderful museum. The Griffin Museum of Science + Industry is the largest science museum in the Western Hemisphere. There is a lot to see across three stories of gallery space including the command module of Apollo 8, life size scale replica of a working coal mine, a German submarine captured during WWII, a Next Gen Ford Mustang NASCAR stock car and more! 

While the James Bond exhibit was the highlight of the visit for me, my teenager who joined me on this journey for a father-son summer road trip will probably say the Interactive Flight Simulator was his favorite thing at the science museum. You harness into a flight simulator that literally moves in the direction the plane is being steered. We flew a F-4 Phantom simulation where he piloted and I co-piloted and I'm not joking when saying we were hanging upside down for a good portion of the "flight." 

traveling dad

Wow! Yes, you actually physically feel the motion of doing a climb, dive or roll while simulating your flight at the machine moves around. I can confirm you can do a 360-degree barrel roll! It is a good thing they have lockers you have to put all your items in or everything in my pockets would have fallen out. There is absolutely something for everyone to enjoy at this Chicago science museum.

DETROIT AREA HAUNTED HOUSES FOR HALLOWEEN FUN IN 2024

2024 metro detroit haunted house list

Looking to have a hauntingly good time enjoying scare attractions around Metro Detroit this Halloween season? Here is a list of scare zones that are open for business around the Detroit area in 2024 to provide visitors with horror experiences during this spooky time of the year:

Azra Chamber of Horrors (Madison Heights)

In the far reaches of the cosmos, where stars die there existed a forbidden dimension known as “The Chamber of Horrors.” It was said that within this realm, Azra, an ancient and powerful dragon, had collected the scariest fears from across the universe and confined them in a single space. With every fear imprisoned, the dimension had become an unimaginable nightmare. Legends of the chamber had spread like whispers through galaxies, warning all who dared to venture there. But some beings, consumed by curiosity or blinded by ambition, couldn’t resist the temptation of unlocking the secrets hidden within.

Rated number one Haunt in Michigan, top 20 in the country, and boasting the rating of #1 fan favorite in the country via Scare Factor, this interactive multi-level maze of a haunted house was formally one of the greatest laser tag arenas around. A variety of attractions are offered at the site including axe throwing, rage rooms, and escape rooms in addition to the Azra Chambers of Horrors. Not recommended for children under 12.

Haunted Erebus (Pontiac) 

Dr. Colber, a mad scientist obsessed with time travel actually figured out how to make it work! But in doing this, every time he got one of his subjects into another time period, that time period itself looked at them as a virus and wiped them out! Obsessed with trying to make this work, he sent more and more of his employees into the time machine until he ran out of time, money, and subjects… 

Which brought him to a brilliant idea! Disguise his time machine as a haunted house! Now, he has end endless supply of human guinea pigs to use in his experiment, and better yet… they unknowingly fund the program. This attraction is not recommended for children under 13.

Rotten Manor (Holly)

Rotten Manor is a highly detailed and immersive haunted attraction that includes, The Manor, The Rotten Forest/Aslyum, and The Rotten Theatre. The Manor & The Forest/Asylum are approximately 35-45 minutes long. The Rotten Hayride takes you on a chilling ride through the haunted woods of Rotten Manor. The Rotten Theatre is an old-timey vintage-style Theatre and is about 25 minutes long. The Rotten Theatre will have a variety of immersive horror-themed performances including a deep dive into who Mr. & Mrs. Rotten are and how they came to reside at what is known as Rotten Manor. And if that wasn’t enough Rotten Manor has a midway full of carnival-themed games & activities for the entire family to enjoy.

Eloise Asylum (Westland) 

Established in 1839, Eloise Asylum was initially built as a psychiatric hospital for the mentally ill. Over the years, it evolved into a complex encompassing various medical facilities, including a tuberculosis sanatorium and a poorhouse. The asylum’s history is filled with tales of compassion, tragedy, and mystery, making it a fascinating place to explore.

Now it provides the setting for a haunted house attraction that features cutting-edge production technology and Hollywood-level, state-of-the-art effects. This adrenaline-pumping journey through eerie corridors and haunted walls is not for the faint-hearted! 

Hush Haunt (Westland)

CARE BEARS BUBBLEGUM

bubblegum kids

Known for scoring goals for the Edmonton Oilers, including career-high 54 last season (third best in the NHL), Zach Hyman is also an award-winning children's literature author under contract with Penguin Random House. Now Hyman has achieved a career hat trick as the owner of a candy company, Bubblegum Kids, that sells sugar-free gum branded around classic cartoon characters. Inspired by his childhood obsession with bubblegum, the father of two has created a fun and healthier alternative to other chewing gums on the market. Bubblegum Kids newest release ... Care Bears lemonade flavored bubblegum.

Officially licensed Care Bears Sunshine Lemonade Bubblegum features Funshine Bear on its packaging. This sugar free chewing gum is vegan and gluten-free with only 5 calories per 2 pieces and a remarkable 83% fewer calories than regular bubblegum. Plus, as a dad who is used to reviewing labels, I was GEEKED to see that it prominently displays its PEANUT FREE status. If you don't look out for these things, you'd be amazed at all the types of candy that aren't safe for people with peanut food allergies.  

care bears bubblegum

Bubblegum Kids uses Xylitol as a sugar substitute. Xylitol is a natural sugar alcohol found in plants that has a sweet taste which use in candy has recently been promoted by dentists because it lowers the level of decay-causing bacteria in saliva reducing the risk of cavities. If you are a dog owner though, beware that it is toxic to those pets.

In addition to the lemonade flavor, there is also a Care Bears themed birthday cake batter flavor as well. Other classic cartoon character gums from the company include Archie and Popeye. The Archie Comics inspired gum is meant to taste like a creamy strawberry milkshake while Popeye looks like spinach but has the taste of traditional bubblegum. Archie, Popeye and Care Bears ... oh my! You can purchase Bubblegum Kids products on Amazon.com
