The M.O.S.H. Pit
The M.O.S.H. Pit (M.O.S.H is an abbreviation for Museum of Science and History) is a multi-purpose play/learn area. The M.O.S.H. Pit will host hands-on STEM activities that will change throughout the year.
Camellia’s Play Café
Camellia’s Play Café is the ultimate let’s pretend restaurant. Kids don the apron, explain the daily specials, take the guests’ orders, and then deliver a delicious “make-believe” meal to the table.
KIDSTRUCTION
Build, Build, Build…that’s only one of the activities kids will enjoy in KIDSTRUCTION. Kids can play dress up with our construction helmets and vests or dress up like a fireman or police officer…make your own adventure!
