Education and entertainment collide in these interactive shows. Our staff may be leading the program, with plenty of opportunities for audience participation and interaction in these 30 minute shows about a variety of topics that correlate to the exhibits and to your classroom curriculum.
Come explore with us!
A field trip to Great Explorations provides the perfect combination of playing and learning for teachers and students. Teachers will appreciate that our exhibits and programs support and extend classroom learning in a hands-on, minds-on way and students will love the time out of the classroom to play and explore.
