Toddler Town is a comfortable, enclosed area that invites toddlers to crawl, climb, and walk to explore and manipulate new environments and surfaces. Even infants and pre-walkers will have a dedicated safe area here in the “Bayou” with a water-bed like base. In Toddler Town many of the experiences enjoyed throughout the museum by older children can be found at an appropriate developmental level safe for younger children. Sounds of the bayou can be heard through small speakers around the area, activated with sturdy, playful buttons.
Sight lines over low walls will enable adults with children of varied ages to be with the youngest while still keeping an eye on the activities of the older children. Toddler Town is a reassuring space where young children independently explore in an environment separated from older children. With its “Cajun” theme, Toddler Town has the mood of a quiet Bayou setting.
Grand Old Oak
Relax under the branches of this giant oak tree. Younger children can crawl among the soft surroundings and hear the sounds of wildlife. Places for books and fun puzzles make this an ideal spot for toddlers and their parents.
natural bridge
Bridges can be built out of found objects and materials. Create a bridge you can walk over by fitting soft blocks together to form a solid surface.
