About The Works
The Works in Newark, Ohio features interactive exhibits across history, art, and science in a red brick building downtown. Visitors explore glassblowing experiences for ages 12 and up, glass fusing for ages 6 and up, and daily glass demonstrations in one of central Ohio's few working hot shops. The SciDome planetarium offers immersive shows included with admission. The second floor displays Licking County's past through artifacts including a 13,000-year-old mastodon and the Jerrie Mock exhibit about the first woman to fly solo around the world. Science exhibits let children build racecars and experiment with electricity and light. An art gallery featuring local and regional artists rotates four times yearly. AAA members receive $1 off daily admission. ASTC, NARM, and Smithsonian Affiliate members get free admission. COSI, SPI Museum, and The Dawes Arboretum members receive 50 percent off, according to attheworks.org.
