Highlights of The New Children's Museum

There are a plethora of activities to keep children of all ages entertained at The New Children’s Museum. In "No Rules….Except," visitors young and old can jump and crawl around a space filled with more than 40 mattresses and 160 pillow tyres. There is a special area available here for children 4 and under.

The "Sketch Aquarium" allows children to scan their sea life drawings and have them come to life in a virtual, life-size aquarium. Guests can then watch their creatures eat virtual food or swim away when touched. Additional exhibits include "Wobbleland," "The Wonder Sound," "Wammock!," and many more.
