Driving Buffalo’s Dreams is a fully accessible, completely immersive exhibit that puts children in the driver’s seat! Design your own vehicle, and drive it through the streets of Buffalo in a larger-than-life projection of the city, then roll up your sleeves and perform maintenance on the vehicle. There’s even a Hot Wheels repair station!
