Exploration Station is an interactive children’s museum designed to spark curiosity, creativity, and hands-on learning for kids and families. Most exhibits are geared toward children ages 2 to 8, with a dedicated toddler area for little ones 36 inches and under. Families are encouraged to explore together, making it a welcoming space for learning through play.

Inside, kids can step into imaginative worlds like Storybook Forest, where fairy tales come to life through dress-up, puppet shows, and creative role play. Other exhibits include a grocery store, diner, veterinary clinic, car care center, and science-focused areas like their paleontology dig. Each space is designed to teach problem solving, cooperation, and early STEM concepts while keeping play at the center of the experience.

Parents and caregivers will appreciate how many different learning styles are supported, from physical activity to sensory exploration and creative building. With rotating exhibits, special grants supporting new installations, and a strong focus on education through play, Exploration Station offers families a fun, engaging destination where kids can learn while having a great time.
