Perfect for visitors aged 0–7, this area of the center encourages children to play to learn in seven skill-building areas. KidsTown features Orange Grove, where kids learn motor skills and collaboration while also developing process skills like measuring, sorting and weighing. Kids can climb and explore on Isaacs Family Climb Time, and use water and props to experiment with physics, engineering and more at Drip Drop Splash.
The all-new Life exhibit offers three immersive habitats and features animals like tamarin monkeys, a sloth, prevost squirrels and a bonnet head shark. Kids can walk through a recreation of the Amazon rainforest, complete with humidity, real plants, trees, a waterfall and more.
