Exhibits

Exhibit spaces within the museum:

• Bay Window Live animals are the highlight of this exhibit. Aquatic and land-living creatures represent regional wildlife, providing firsthand observations of their habits and habitats.
• Watermen Visitors climb aboard a ten-foot boat and dock to act out their own watermen scenes. Props (life jackets, nets, plush crabs and fish) add to the realism of the exhibit.
• Hard Hats This exhibit demonstrates concepts in construction and transportation. Toddlers adore the wooden train table, just at their height. Preschoolers make buildings and towns with the block set, often with help from their grown ups.
• Body Works A seven-foot replica of the human body, Stuffee, can be unzipped to provide access to his internal organs. A real dental chair lets children take on the role of dentist or hygienist as they practice on their parents.
• Express Yourself This is a "help yourself" visual art workspace. Visitors can avail themselves of creative materials to make original works of art. Materials stress recycling, with wallpaper sample books, egg cartons, cardboard tubes, and cast-offs from local businesses.
• Center Stage You're on! Theatrical costumes, a dramatic curtain, and seating for an admiring audience bring out the star quality is us all. Impromptu musical and dramatic productions occur between performances by professional storytellers and musicians.
• Around the World Visitors can visit a home in Colombia. Shop in the market place. Bring rainforest puppets to life. Say hello to Rosita the red-tailed boa constrictor.
