The
Children’s Museum is a wonderful setting that offers children ages one
and up many activities designed to enhance all areas of
children’s
development through fantasy play, creativity, and hands-on exploration.
Inside
the museum, “Global Village” offers children up to age 8 an
opportunity to experience different cultures from around the world
through music, clothing, and much more.
The
Discovery Room is full of hands-on learning. Everything in the
room (except the snake!) is meant to be touched and explored by little
hands. Musical instruments
(including a real pipe organ), microscopes, bones, reptiles, a
kaleidoscope and even a mini-planetarium all await eager explorers.
Outside,
older children can climb aboard a submarine.
Young and old can play in the museum’s garden that is designed
for nature activities like fossil digs and water play.
Children are guaranteed to have fun and learn at this museum!
