Profile

A new, 4,000-square-foot exhibit designed for kids from infancy through preschool. Based on the theory of learning through play, there are five distinct areas (math, language, science, imagination, and physical/emotional strength) with multiple levels of interactive challenge. For example, in the language area, kids will feed words and letters to a talking dragon. In the science area, they'll see color and pattern formation through light cylinders. Even babies will have a blast. — Susan Avery
