It’s not just for children, but everyone who enjoys being a child at heart. With versatile meeting space with a creative edge, it’s the ideal location for corporate events designed to be as fun as they are productive.
The facility’s recent expansion and its all-new exhibits wow kids of all ages. It’s no surprise that parents and adults are also enthralled by what the Children’s Museum has to offer given its extensive roster of interactive activities. The number one reaction when families walk in is “Whoa!” when they see the three-story climbing tower in PowerPlay, and “Awesome!” when they walk into the giant Invention Convention lab with all of its moving parts. The Children’s Museum isn’t about stationary exhibits, but ever-changing, one-of-a-kind environments that are unlike anything guests have seen before.
It’s a great place to hold business meetings, seminars, staff appreciation parties, holiday celebrations and social events of all varieties.
