Let your imagination guide you in a role as a doctor, veterinarian, dentist, or patient in the health area. “Drive” our ambulance or experience what is like to use a wheelchair or walker; don some scrubs and check out an x-ray of human bones or reptiles on our x-ray viewing machines. Blow an enormous bubble in the bubble area, dress up in the theater and put on a show in the Sit-Around-Theater, and create a masterpiece in Creation Station. Our water table is more than a splash, it offers the chance to manipulate the waterways, or float a boat. See what you look like on television in our TV studio, create pathways with the marble works components, then capture your shadow or “draw” with light. The Tot Lot is for our youngest visitors under age 2 and offers a safe place for exploration and discovery.
Visit one of the Cityscape establishments and take on the role of mail carrier, short order cook or diner, grocery clerk or shopper, librarian or patron, then climb into Observation Station and look for the hidden objects. Don’t forget to crawl through the Curvy Crawler’s dark and twisty tunnel, then enter Thomas Luckey’s sculptural creation, the Curvy Climber, to climb three levels of curved platforms that reach up two stories, giving you a bird’s eye view of all the activity below.
An upstairs eating area has vending machines with snacks and drinks, and picnic table seating. Bring your lunch so that you can spend the whole day!
