Giants, Dragons, and Unicorns: The World of Mythic Creatures
Stories of mythical beings have been with us for thousands of years. These legends, which were sometimes inspired by fossils or living animals, continue to inspire us today.
TreeHouses
Become an environmental steward in the Avampato Discovery Museum and learn about the secret lives of those who live amongst the trees. Families can explore, design and build their own treehouse, stomp on the forest dance floor to discover the sounds of the forest, and much more!
WaterWorks
In WaterWorks visitors play and work with water along sweeping flow routes, dramatic water falls, controlling the water to animate and energize everything in its path in an expression of water’s power. Along the way, they will experience the potential, kinetic and mechanical energy of water.
