About Exploritorium
Kids rev up their imaginations inside the Exploritorium, transforming into little inventors, climbers, or stars of the stage. Tykes caper through a slew of different interactive spaces, including a two-and-half story play structure chock full of tunnels and slides. A water area provides kids with a space to go fishing and paint with water. Visual creations illuminate a giant light brite, and the dress-up area wardrobes kids in a variety of costumes, readying them to act out adventures on the nearby stage.
Come on select days for enrichment programs held weekly: Storybook Corner, Paint & Play, Playdough Playtime, and Parent-Tot Yoga. Holidays usher in even more events, such as a Halloween Kooky Spooky Candy Trail and an Itty Bitty New Year for families. Visit the facility webpage for dates and details.
