Imagine the Future With Us

Our planned outdoor exhibits include over 19,000 sq. ft. of immersive experiences for children. We have partnered with Landrec to design exhibits that are both engaging and contextually relevant to the geography of Ventura County.

A sensory playground incorporating drought-responsive water play with a meandering dry stream bed that children can hand pump water into to wash their fruit at the agricultural stand or bring to the "mud kitchen" for play in the sand. This area also incorporates a Pygmy Mammoth Dig, just at the edge of a sandy beach.

A gross motor adventure with many opportunities to climb high amongst the trees surrounding the outdoor galleries - or play low in parallel play adventures. Many adventures abound and allow for children to experience safe risks and test limits in a safe and exciting environment.

A Channel Islands adventure featuring a whale pod with water play, climbable Channel Islands, a rolling wave tunnel, balance surfboards and kayaks, climbable buoys, as well as a kelp obstacle course. Much of the play in this marine play space will be gross motor play with scalable challenges for children of different ages and abilities.
