Exhibit
Discover science, get creative, and develop new skills in this exhibit designed for your little explorers! A playful space for kids aged 0-6 and their adults.
Nurture your future scientists’ innate curiosity in Playtopia Juegolandia, our space designed specifically for visitors aged 6 and under (and their grown-ups)! Little ones (ages 0–2) can safely explore and discover in their own dedicated area, while older kids can tackle the thrilling climber. Experiment with light, color, and patterns on the dazzling light wall, or explore the surprising science of airflow with our Wind Tube and Bernoulli Blower. From manipulating floating disks in our air-flow table to creating tactile designs on the giant Pinwall, every corner of Playtopia is an invitation to build, move, and learn through joyful play.
