What do you want to be when you grow up?
Children shape their futures one adventure at a time, and when it comes to play, hands-on is the way to discover what grown-ups do at work each day. Whether your child wants to be a firefighter, chef, explorer, build a castle, groom animals or captain a boat, the Museum offers so many ways to explore the world of careers through interactive play. Your children can visit a farm, manage a grocery store, pilot a plane, work in a brick factory and even dress up and be Broadway stars on stage. At the same time, theyll learn to “play nicely” with others, work together, follow mutually agreed upon rules, socialize in groups, develop leadership skills and solve problems.
Kids arent the only visitors who benefit from role-playing and creativity. Interactive play with kids is also a good way for adults to relieve stress, enhance creative-thinking skills and increase energy. So leave your stress at the door and take on a world of careers with your children during your next visit!
