Franklin Institute in Philly had a great Math room with all sorts of hands-on
activities that included basic geometry and fractals. Unfortunately, it's not
around now (boo hiss!!! :) but you could probably contact the exhibits
department there and get info on what they had.

I've seen another neat geometry exhibit that was a basin of soap and dippers of
various shapes. You could push a button and one of the dippers would drop down
in the soap and come back up to make "solid" forms. For example, there was a
cube dipper, a triangular pyramid dipper, a square pyramid dipper and other
polygons. I think St. Louis Museum of Science might have had that one.
