Curious George™: Let’s Get Curious!
More fun than a barrel of monkeys!
Letting curiosity and inquiry be their guides, visitors explore familiar buildings and locales from the Curious George&trade book series and television show on PBS KIDS in Curious George™: Let's Get Curious! The exhibit presents key concepts in science, math and engineering, which are woven and layered throughout the exhibit. Activities invite visitors to learn like George-through direct experience and problem solving!
Upon entry to the exhibit, visitors find themselves on an urban street and are transported to the neighborhood in which Curious George lives with his friend, The Man with the Yellow Hat. The show's supporting characters appear throughout the exhibit, helping to provide context, deliver parent and take-home messages, and inject humor. Areas and activities have multi-generational appeal and include an apartment building, sidewalk produce stand, construction site, park, mini golf area, rocket, farm and museum retrospective.
