Entry Description

Play to Learn is a hands-on learning experience for children age five and under. Through open-ended play across 4000 ft2 children flex their imaginations and develop essential social, cognitive, and critical-thinking skills. Young visitors challenge themselves in a two-story climber; create with light and color; and experiment with cause and effect on a massive Rube Goldberg wall. A rolling landscape full of intriguing loose parts builds confidence and curiosity as young ones walk, crawl, and toddle together with their caregivers.
