Simple Machine Shipyard

There are six classical simple machines, the elementary “building blocks” of all the complicated machines today. You can put them to work at Discovery World.

Can you lift a log? A boulder? A giant block of ice? A house? Can you lift yourself? Of course you can! Harness the power of mechanical advantage with simple machines.
