Big Blue Blocks, a guest favorite, is back up on the second floor in the traveling exhibit space!

The exhibit is a full, hands-on experience encouraging loose parts play and inspiring children to create their own play using problem-solving, logic, and mathematical skills. In other words, you can build a pretty cool castle. Or house. Or pirate ship. You get the idea!

Try. Toggle. Test.

On the Tinker Wall you can flip switches, ding bells, and see what happens! Cultivate your curiosity by testing a variety of building materials: 16 switches, 15 light fixtures, flooring, sandpaper, and too much fun. Did we mention there is a party light?

This wall is basically a toddler paradise (though we notice older children and grown-ups love it, too!).

Listen to other people share about where they live and where they have traveled and then share your story.

At Tell Us Your Story, you can listen to videos of other guests sharing where they are from and what makes it special. But you can also leave your mark on the exhibit and share your story as well.
