Nature Play Area
Our new outdoor natural play-scape is where children can explore in our stream and sand play areas during Spring, Summer and Fall. Kids can also slide and create mud pies and plant in the garden. Watch for special nature programs about bugs and animals after the snow melts.

KidZone Museum Activity Centers
Baby Zone
The Baby Zone is an exhibit for visitors from 0 to 18 months of age. In this aquatic- and nature-themed area, your baby can practice rolling, crawling, climbing, cruising and all-around play in a safe environment.
Creative Center
Our Creative Center has exploratory art activities for you and your child any time the museum is open. In this self-service area, visitors have access to washable paints, markers, crayons, paper in many sizes and colors. Children will also enjoy using clay and implements. We also offer classes in the center, such as Messy Art and Wonder Science.
Jungle Gym
The Jungle Gym play structure has a slide and climbing wall. It's a great place for kids to use up all that energy. During winter, this exhibit does wonders for your child's gross motor skills. The stairs to the slide are easy enough for younger visitors to navigate. This part of the museum also has a custom train table and magnetic building tiles.
