Fun in Kid City
The Factory
The city that never sleeps is back!
Kid City is open for our 5 and under friends.
Please note: Access to Kid City is on a first-come-first-serve basis.
Fire Station
Kids can hop in the driver’s seat of the new fire truck, or turn multiple levers to mimic the knobs found on a real fire truck.
Infant Area
Just for crawlers! This special infant-only area for children still in the crawling stage provides a safe space for exploring a variety of surfaces.
Ball Wall
Multiple chutes, tracks, and moving objects are a source of excitement and awe for the young visitors. Children can explore the physics of movement and cause and effect as they turn various cranks for different reactions.
Factory
Kids will love climbing through the four level of the Factory, or working to move items along the conveyor belt.
Grocery Store
Kids can weigh, sort, match, compare, and sell “fruit” and “vegetables” of various shapes, colors, and sizes. They’ll have fun filling their shopping cart as they learn basic math concepts. An interactive nutrition model also teaches children the importance of making healthy food choices. A delivery vehicle provides the opportunity for loading and unloading their groceries and produce.
Little Learner’s Lab
The Young Explorer computer stations feature age-appropriate computer games that teach math, science and reading skills.
Magnetic Wall
Spell it out! Kids can spell words, count numbers and make designs with magnetic letters and numbers.
Block Corner
Kids can stack’em up or knock’em down!
