Our Outdoor Playscape delights youngsters with exhibits that explore outdoor play in a way that encourages risk-taking, exploration, and hands-on learning. Children can harness the power of water, host a digging expedition, harmonize with our many musical instruments, build the biggest (and bluest) tower, climb into our treehouse and more.

Even our littlest visitors can join in on hands-on fun in a Toddler Area  built just for them.

Go on a special exploration in our dig pit. What will you find buried in the earth?
