“Play is the highest form of research.” – Albert Einstein Imaginations will soar with hands-on exploration in our 30 play and learn exhibits. Shop in the Giant Market, fly an A-10 Jet, rush to the rescue in our full size fire truck, report the news and weather in the TV station, create a work of art in Studio 60, serve up a meal in the Plum Dragon Palace, ride the Ambulance to the Hospital, check out your smile in our Open Wide dental exhibit, climb into a tree house and learn about the natural world in Eco-Kids, explore the Susquehanna River on its trip to the Chesapeake and stand inside a giant bubble.
Groovin’ in our Recollections III exhibit, shopping smart, directing an emergency call, dining out international-style, and sampling simple science are, perhaps the first steps in preparing a child to succeed in a changing society. The Story Garden, a Children's Interactive Garden containing 13 interactive areas focusing on children's literature themes, opened in summer 2007.
