Get ready for full throttle fun!
Heavy Metal in Motion rolls back onto the Tellus grounds with an awesome display of big machines and powerful vehicles that showcase the science of engineering in action. From an Army helicopter, specialty equipment, and emergency response vehicles to rides you might recognize from the silver screen, this is a day to get hands-on with machines that move our world!
PLUS, make sure you check out our hands-on activities, geode crackin’, and a special cookout-style menu in our outdoor Cafe.
Hold on to your hats + cover your ears! When the helicopter lands and big rigs crank their motors, it's going to get windy and noisy!
