FEATURED EXHIBIT
Food & Family
In this 3,650 square foot exhibit presented by GIANT, kids can explore an immersive, open-ended learning landscape with three interconnected zones: a shopping market, a home and industrial kitchen, and a neighborhood festival area.
Where does food come from, and where can we find it? How do we prepare food? How can we share food together? These are the BIG questions we ask children to think about in this new permanent exhibit.
