There are 3 different levels of fun, games, and experiences for kids of all interests. From rock walls and a slide/jungle gym to construction zones and an international grocery store. There is also a Kidstage where they perform interactive shows with audience participation.

The museum's exhibits and programs focus on science, culture, and the arts and are designed to be hands-on and engaging, encouraging children to learn through exploration and play.
