Pacific Ocean and Channel Islands
A Channel Islands adventure featuring climbable Channel Islands, a rolling wave tunnel, balance surfboards, a kelp obstacle course, and Pygmy Mammoth Dig. Much of the play in this marine play space will be gross motor play with scalable challenges for children of different ages and abilities.
Agriculture
A farmers market for imaginative, hands-on play. Young explorers can browse a farmers market stocked with fruits and vegetables, visit a greenhouse with real plants, or climb aboard a tractor. At the cooking station, children can pretend to shop and cook using simple recipes, sparking creativity and early learning. This space also features an outdoor amphitheater for storytelling, learning, and gathering as a community.
Basecamp
Step into our outdoor camping exhibit! Children can explore tents, gather around a pretend campfire and test their skills on an obstacle course with a balance hammock.
Indoor Exhibits
Our indoor exhibits, while limited in Phase 1, will include rich, hands-on learning experiences in our STREAM Gallery with Amazing Airways, Bright Day Big Blocks, Makerspace, and CURIO Gallery.
