BY POPULAR DEMAND — ECHO’S “BODY LANGUAGE” EXHIBIT EXTENDED UNTIL
NOVEMBER 3rd
BURLINGTON, Vt. — Dancing with your own silhouette, painting
the walls with your shadow, spinning ‘til you’re just plain
silly… if you’re one of the thousands of visitors who came to
love ECHO Lake Aquarium and Science Center’s “Body Language”
exhibit this summer, and couldn’t bear to see it go — you’re in
luck! This special show now runs through November 3rd, and has
been updated with even more ways to discover the fascinating
physics of human movement. With new interactives plus free
workshops on Segway riding, Burlington Ultimate Frisbee, and
more, “Body Language” is sure to delight both first-timers and
repeat visitors alike. Sponsored by Merchants Bank, Blue Cross
and Blue Shield of Vermont, and Vermont Chiropractic
Association.
Don’t miss…
- NEW: “The Frictionator!” All objects are not created
equal — at least not when they’re hurtling down a ramp in a
race with your friends!
- Free Segway riding workshops with SegRides of Vermont —
experience the world’s first self-balancing,
electric-powered transportation device. Moving your body
moves the Segway!
- Giant Snibbe Screens: Where you can literally dance and
paint with your own shadow, and then e-mail the image to
family and friends.
- Turntable Tricks: Grab onto a larger-than-life turntable
and experience dizzying angular momentum and centrifugal
force — but hold on to your lunch!

specific dates and times, by visiting ECHO’s website at
