Description

This 4,000-square-foot exhibition designed for kids from infancy through preschool is based on the theory of learning through play. As such, 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.
