  • Water Works Wonders
    Come and discover the wonders of water! This exhibit features a moving water table with different activities at each stepped level, hand play with the water mushroom, directing the current with dam tabs and exploring water pressure through pipe building. Smocks and a hand dryer provided to help keep you dry.

    Another feature of Water Works Wonders is the Water Cycle Slide. You are a part of the cycle as you evaporate up the stairs...condensate into the clouds...and precipitate down the slide. Don't forget to climb through the tunnel as ground water and then repeat.

  • K I D Z Weather Watchers
    Little meteorologists…telling it like it is! Give the latest forecast on TV…a hurricane in Montana, why not? Magnetic weather patterns move all over the country when you are in the spotlight!

  • Body Bubble Machine
    Step inside a giant bubble! Will you master the art of the human tunnel bubble?

  • Dr. Kid's Office
    Little doctors, complete with scrubs and stethescopes, learn about anatomy, health and wellness where the grown-ups become the patients.

  • Dino Dig
    Grab your goggles, shovel and bucket and go on an adventure to find dinosaur fossils both big and small! What have you found? Match what you found to the dino book to see what dinosaur your discovery is from.

  • Green, Green Forest
    This exhibit transforms the exhibit gallery into a ponderosa pine forest. Grab a costume on the performance stage for the big show or climb up into the tree fort as you search for the hidden woodland creatures throughout the museum. Can you spy the fox, woodpecker, skunk and owl?

  • Transformation Station
    Who will you become today when you paint your own face?

  • Construction Zone
    Wooden blocks and trucks set the scene for a grand construction project. Roads and buildings go your way when you are the city planner!

  • Art Studio
    Fun materials and new projects to make and take every day. Try your brush at a painting or texture tools at the Claymate table. This space doubles as CM’s program/birthday room, too.

  • It Takes A Village
    A climbing fort, a play kitchen, a puppet theater for little ones and their families to gather and play together!

  • Busy Babies
    This enclosed space is just for the under 2 crowd. A climbing structure with stairs and a mini slide give those little movers and shakers the independence to test their new skills! Age-appropriate toys adorn the shelves for little ones to explore in a safe and creative way. Plus comfy seating and a boppy for nursing mamas.
