‘Da Vinci Experience’ offers locals discount

“The Da Vinci Experience,” which features re-creations of more than 60 of Leonardo da Vinci’s inventions and paintings, is now offering locals a discounted ticket price of $8.50 per person.

The exhibit, at the Henderson Events Plaza, 200 S. Water St., includes prototypes for the first bicycle, the first car, the first helicopter and the first parachute.

All of the replicas were designed from da Vinci’s notebooks and were re-created using the same materials and techniques that would have existed in his time.

Copies of the original drawings and sketches also are on display.

“The Da Vinci Experience” is open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sundays through Thursdays and from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays. Children age 6 and younger are admitted free.
